Guys I'll try and find the article( LPG injection) in my not so well
organised library( the boxes of mags down stairs).

The prototype was on a Falcon.
The ECU was cheaper local aftermarket that had reliabilty problems.
( sorry I cant remember the names)
Any way the injectors were modified stock ones ( so not of much use to the
Bio Mass stuff).
The LPG was being used in the liquid phase (as Peter ?XXX Suggested).
The resulting power was up to 10% better than petrol. This was mainly due
to the cooling 
effect of the phase change a bit like the advantages of using methanol. 
A little more was possible then with compression and timing changes to suit
LPG.
I had the feeling that Ford actually took over the deal or at least it is
an (approved) after market option for 
FORD sixes ( the aussie ones with the alloy head and overhead hydraulic
roller cam - designed by honda).

As well as the "Car" mags the systema was featured in the magazine from the
Instituteof Automotive  Mechanical Engineers, just another source if some
want to look for the article.
