Got some fact here about LPG on deisel engins..
Diesel LPG Conversions
Diesel engines can be converted to run partly on LPG, partly on diesel. This method uses the combustion of the diesel to ignite the LPG. The benefits include large increases in power and reduction in emissions, particularly the black smoke often associated with diesels.
Typically a ratio of 30% LPG to 70% diesel is possible. No adjustments are required to the diesel injection system and fuel savings come from the fact that throttle openings are lower due to the greatly increased power, which basically means you do not have to press the accelerator as hard to get the same performance.
Fuel savings upwards of 30% are possible with the increased power levels seen as a major benefit to users.

I went back to the company I got my LPG kit from and asked them what it would cost and what I would need to adapt the current LPG kit to go on the TDi engine. I reminded him I already had one of his kits on my 2.5 L Petrol and that I would need a new length of copper pipe to go from the tank to the engine. this was his reply...
Thank you for your mail,
We can supply you the parts (& instructions) you need to use your kit on a TDi engine,
You will need a special reducer, a vapour solenoid, a pipe mixer valve and some electronic control equipment
The cost will be £128 + vat (inc extra length of copper pipe).
