My car has been converted for eighteen months,and is still perfect.The tank I bought was a 60 ltr,and replaces the spare wheel. I dont see the point in fitting bigger gas tanks ,the weight even when empty is heavy,dont worry about the lpg ,if it has been fitted properly, just enjoy the cheap motoring
