Can't imagine anyone doing anything like that now, although I guess

You could but, the range will be somewhat less unless you can find
somewhere to fit a big gas tank.

Also there probably won't be many places to fill up.

More than you imagine.

LPG conversions were very common in the Netherlands in the 1970's.

So they were here in the 90s until the government reversed their policy
on fuel duty.
Some years ago when I was in the market for 3500 kg towing vehicles,
there were quite a lot of converted Shoguns for those who didn't fancy
the 20 mpg or so of typical Landies.

Had V8 auto defender on LPG - beautiful. Did about 11mpg running around
town.
