Lpg convertion?!

[scooper]

For those interested, I've just had my Cooper S converted. No loss in performance but a massive increase in economy.

Details: Car does 33mpg on LPG compared with 36 on Petrol this equates to 66mpg (almost) Diesel owners beat that!

I can supply more details if required

Just curious as to where the tank is? Standard practice on other cars seems to be to stick a doughnut shaped tank in spare wheel well.

I'm definitely interested.
Did you get one of the conversion grants (assuming they are still available).
Any warranty issues ?
