it is not that easy my friend..replacing the fuel for your car may also require changingthe whole engine,
but if your car engine was desiged for Gas and LPG it may not require you changing the whole fuel system but honestly i've never heared of LPG as fuel for an engine.

LPG is safe, local dealers in this fuel may have the systems for it.
I was thinking about propane, and the problem that I ran into is the installation of the fuel tank (must be outside and not in a trunk).

This is not suggested unless you own a taxi cab. LPG(liquid petrolium gas(PROPANE)) has a lower fuel energy than gasoline and refilling could become a nightmare (depending where you live) All LPG systems MUST be installed by a licensed technician and certified.
