This sounds too good to be true.  A perfect solution to an awful problem and I am certain that Audi has already angered the Audi gods by thinking about an LPG converssion themselves.  

Now, having said that, it IS the perfect solution to a lot of problems....at least I think so.  The only issues that I can think of is the fuel delivery problem, the tank location problem, the reserve tank location and how that would be plumbed, and the loss (minor, MAYBE) of additional lubrication in the engine.

Oh, yes.  And the insurance problem.  IF there is an insurance problem, of course.  I have NO idea how insurance companies look at engine or fuel conversion projects in this day and age.  

If the choice is between looking at a major fuel system revamping and ripping out the whole system and replacing it with an LPG system, and you have the knowledge and patience to do the work, I say, GO FOR IT.  

On the other hand, unless the car is near perfect, it might be the end of the road for the poor dear...no, no, no.  I don’t want to even think about that!
