There are some off-the-shelf dual-fuel setups, even though they're more frequently fitted to commercial vehicles.
This is an example I found on Google

i'm sure there are gains to be made with lpg - from what i've read it works in a diesel a bit like nitrous in a petrol (gas) engine - ie makes more power.

It doesn't actually work in a way comparable to nitro. It may eventually make more power, but it only happens because the Diesel AFR is so lean that it allows enough oxygen to burn some extra amount of fuel to be accurately burnt. And since the volatility of LPG increases the flame spread, the Diesel fuel also has a more accurate combustion which by the way leads to a better usage of its energy content.

i don't want a faster car but maybe could be configured somehow to give my economy gains..

Using LPG to partially replace the Diesel fuel instead of supplement it is the way to go, and that's exactly the strategy followed by most operators who resort to it.
