its for a basic 1.4 16v petrol engine

Unless you are doing starship mileage in a small engined car or trying to cut the fuel costs of running a large engined one it isn't worth it.
The tank will take up a lot of your boot space.
Many insurers won't touch a converted car at all, some will require a certificate from the LPGA, some will want an inspection by their own engineer. You will pay more for those that will.
Some garages won't touch a converted car.
You can't take a converted car through the Channel Tunnel.
Do you have an LPG pump nearby?

Cost can be between £500 for Dodgy Polish Backstreet Garage Ltd’s billy basic kit, to £1500+ for all bells and whistles modern gear from reputable installer. You’ll have to do a lot of miles to offset the cost of install but maybe still worth it, up to you.

Insurance I didn’t find an issue and was slightly cheaper if anything. Fuel station availability not an issue just needed to know your local ones and plan ahead a bit if doing a long journey. Spare wheel well tank gave a bit smaller a range than I’d like but perfectly usable.
I would have another but I’d still only buy pre-converted.

I would highly doubt you're getting a liquid gas injection kit anywhere for £500 ?

Are liquid kits more common these days in general ?

Buying a car that's already converted and you can check history or ensure it runs correctly would make more sense. Unless it's something extremely unique where that isnt possible.

But as others say, on a 1.4 engine....probably pointless and it'd take forever to recoup the cost of a conversion unless you do a stload of miles.
