The issue is whether you can get the lpg for your trip. Personally I think that you’d be just as fine getting a diesel for the long runs and have no worries about fuel.

I have a 2008 4.2sc which I bought second hand 10 years ago. After a few months had lpg installed and have used it for 72,000 miles locally and around Europe. It works very well but you must use unleaded fairly regularly as well as I may have screwed up my main injectors. When cold outside the car vibrates badly until heat gets into engine. Now it’s warmer it’s better but still noticeable. My Indy will be having a look at them soon. Once they are fixed I will be using lpg around town an unleaded on faster roads. The fact that the car starts on unleaded is not enough to keep the injectors in good condition Current:

Have driven LPG nearly all my life. I'm Dutch and in Holland LPG was very normal in all kind of cars. Living in France driving LPG, no problem with finding LPG stations. Normally a LPG car starts on petrol and when warm switches automaticaly to LPG. Any LPG installation has normally te be checked by the authorities, so it's mentioned on the V5. If not mentioned on the V5 you'll might have a hard time getting it trough the local MOT.

Hi Dingg1 am only going by what my specialist has told me. As I said it ‘may’ be because I’ve run it on lpg almost exclusively except for start-up for 10 years. Until we get the injectors out it’s only guess work as an extensive check over drew a blank. I’m using the bsg system I believe (may have the letters round the wrong way) I’ve also got the same make on an old SL500, which unlike the 4.2sc, doesn’t need valve saving fluid. Current:
