LPG? Apparently not you can get them as kits, however they do need to be checked by someone that I can't remember who at this time but no doubt someone will know who hands out the certificates

At this point in time no certification is required is required, an association of installers the LPGA tries to give the impression an inspection is required but this is not the case.

The problem with the LPGA is over the years quite of their members have been shown to be cowboys.

Converting a any car unless it is particularly complex vehicle or has an extreme lack of under bonnet space is relatively easy.

Modern systems are slaved off the vehicles petrol injection system with the injector signals modified to drive the gas injectors.

When planning a conversion take into account the cost of LPG in your area, the distance from the nearest LPG pump and the maximum size of tank your vehicle can accomodate without loosing too much boot space.
