LPG is forbidden for road use in Brazil, but it's not so uncommon to find backyard conversions. Often, it just has a hose connected to the carburettor (or the throttle-body if it has a TBI) and a valve to be connected to an average home LPG bottle.

I've only heard about CNG cars exploding in Brazil when the owner was trying to fill a home LPG bottle with the gas. An average LPG setup pressure is 225psi while CNG goes from 3000 to 3600. Also, the maximum pressure an average CNG tank is certified to hold up is around 13500psi.
