As the Mini is such a small and light car, it's hardly worth it.  It's not like a big heavy Range Rover or something, I would doubt it is worth the hassle or expense, plus these days it would be undesirable due to making the car unoriginal.

There are some companies in the UK that sell universal kits.

I known it's not much worse than a petrol tank, but I definately wouldn't like the be hit from behind with that!

Yes, that's correct. Just I'm asking for a friend. He's very interested in this.

That link shows all the parts needed for an engine up to 150hp. As you can see there are a lot of bits and pieces to find a home for, other than the tank which is not included in the price,

Yes friend, I understand.
This guy fitted the LPG kit years ago. Should be nice to know more about his experience.

Why? Safer than our thin petrol tanks.

I can't claim to be an expert on any of this, but liquid petrol seems a lot safer in such an exposed place than compressed gas.
