Default 7.4L LPG conversion

What parts do I need to do the conversion? Is there a place I can get the parts? They need to be stainless steel, thanks.

    I have never heard of a LPG conversion on a marine engine , except maybe a genset. Doesn't seem practical or safe to me.
    You got more info on this?
    Interesting

    Wow
    Sounds like a expensive en devour.
    I see there are only 2 dealers in the states and quite a few across the pond your way Andy.
    Is this something that has come about due to the high costs of fuel , or another green idea?
    Sure is interesting. I'd like to know the cost and benefits of the system.
    Has anyone out there in MOC land ever had one of these systems?
    I gotta do some more research , very interesting for sure.

    It's all well and good, but how long is a tank of gas (LPG ) going to last???
    I only know of a couple of petrol stations over my way that sell LPG
    And non of the marina's sell LPG
    So you’re still going to have to go out with a belly full of fuel Gas/petrol.......
    Two nations divided by a common language....lol

    I think CNG would be more efficient.... still pretty costly though.
