I know that LPG is a complete replacement for petrol, but are you saying
that the oil conversion is part derv, and part gas, then?

I've never come across an oil engine conversion before - by recalibrating
the pump I'm assuming that it is the volume displaced, rather than the
pressure, which is reduced - but doesn't that affect the starting at all? 

Presumably you would then need to open the LPG flow before you started
cranking (and hope for a good start before flooding the engine compartment
with gas ..... )

I used to fit gas conversions to both petrol and diesel engines.
With a diesel engine we used to get the injector pump re-calibrated to 60%
of its norm and then the gas collar would fit into the air inlet pipe.
This worked very well and gave more torque at lower engine speeds
