you cant convert totally but you can have dual fuel.
so it can run on both.

Diesel ones work a bit different. Petrol / LPG cars can use either fuel. Diesel LPG cars use both at the same time. They can run on soleley diesel, or a Diesel LPG mixture.
It's effectively like buying cheap diesel.

I was going to answer a resounding NO due to the way a diesel's injection and ignition process works (LPG just seems completely unsuitable) until I read the posts from others who have seen it done.
I still have no idea how it could work safely and reliably, but obviously it does.
Just shows that we can always learn something new from each other. Outstanding!

It appears so...
Go to google and type this in the search:
convert diesel LPG
You will get several links that you can use to research this further.
Good luck!

Cannot be done , diesels run on compression ignition , LPG will not ignite itself it needs spark plugs you cannot convert desiels to lpg
