LPG Conversions for 3.2 Jackaroo.

I'm considering a duel fuel conversion to my 97 3.2L V6 Jackaroo. The hight cost of fuel in Canberra and surrounds has finally made me get off my butt and investigate it after 6 months of thinking about it.
Was wondering if anybody else had done it or had an opinion on it's viability/reliability

The system i checked out today installed a 63lt lpg tank where the existing petrol tank is and put a new 80lt fuel tank elsewhere. A injector simulator is installed to fool the ecu. Cost about $3200 fitted.

any ideas/comments would be appreciated.

Cheers
Ben

I have thought about it for the 3.2 Frontera, however I was advised against it by an engine re-builder in Redcliffe because he says the valve seats won't last. The Rodeo had a factory gas option at the time I was thinking about it though.
