I looked into dual fuel/LPG as well, and I don't think there is any
legal way to get it done in Kalifornia. The EPA only approves the gear
that goes into fleet conversions and not individual cars. If you look
on most sites that sell the gear for conversion, they all emphatically
state that their kits are for off road use only. New CNG cars are
legal to buy here in CA but you can't make your own - go figure.
Vanagon content: I was also perplexed as to where I would hide the
tank in my Syncro Westy...
