Sooo.....
Here are a few simple LPG questions if anyone can oblige - the idea being we can get her out more without remortgaging every time she's empty and also use her more as a daily-driver without the guilt of driving a gas-guzzler for short journeys

So three (okay so it's four) questions:

1) Is she even compatible for an LPG conversion?
YES

2) Where do LPG tanks usually get positioned on a T25? She already has one for the fridge under the passenger-side sill - so I'm guessing a 'mirror image' of it on the other side is probably usual. Can anyone clarify this? We don't really want to lose any interior space.
Usually under the RnR bed or in the wardroab uf you have one

3) What is the usual capacity on a tank? Likely range on a full tank?
Tank sizes vary. The most common one is 65ltr.

4) How easy is it to switch back to petrol 'on the fly' if you run out miles from an LPG gas-station? (Our nearest LPG garage is a bit of a schlepp)
Its as simple as flicking a switch or pressing a button

We're in North London so would ideally like to have it done reasonably locally so we don't have to fanny about with long-distance train journeys home while it's being converted. It can take less that a day for a confersion.
Have a word with Steve at Gasure (link to his site in my sig) and he will advise you better than I

Any help appreciated !!!!
Thanks in advance!
