You can't DIY it in Europe as all LPG installations need to be installed by certified installers - just like on a petrol car.
I'd be surprised if the US allow DIY LPG systems.
Over there, I wouldn't like to face the liability by tinkering with LPG.
For personal vehicles, the ecological advantage is still there, but economically it's cost-prohibitive as only about 30% of the diesel is replaced by LPG. It's even less economical on a vehicle that's already some years old.
I informed about it some ime ago
It works out well for high fuel consumption vehicles though - busses, trucks - in an environment where LPG is a lot cheaper than diesel and readily available.
For anyone doing the investment, mixing diesel and CNG or even LNG is more attractive as you can substitute about 70% of the diesel with CNG/LNG.
And it's most worthwhile when doing it right away when getting a new vehicle.
