That will be similar if not the same as the LPG liquid injectors now available for petrol engines.

I believe so. But while you would typically only substitute about 20% (if I remember our results correctly) of the diesel with LPG, it's theoretically possible to do 100% substitution with direct injection petrol conversions. I say 'theoretically' because the problem with direct-injection petrol systems is that, because the injector tip sits inside the combustion chamber, they can overheat without the cooling effect of the petrol passing through them. So for that reason, many direct injection petrol LPG systems allow petrol to be injected every 'X' number of cycles.
