Not a problem if gas is purely for your car but illegal if you are using it for home too
Home gas uses gas and has different duty on it.
Car gas is liquid and have to pay duty
Most tank suppliers would rent you a tank and kit if far enough away from an LPG filling station.
Can't remember how far you have to be

Currently 7 or 16 miles depending on who we use. 16 miles away are cheaper than 7 miles, but mile for mile work out the same.

However, the government BITCHES are managing to close down a lot of LPG stations due to duty (theft) charges.

I think 7 miles is too close but not sure.
Worth checking

Lpg is reasonable to install. Have to remove the inlet manifold though to drill. Getting it running well is a different kettle though. Prins are reckoned the best . Eastern Europe is a good source for cheaper products though.
