Hello, do you know if this convertion can happen on a boat?I do not believe that there is any specific danger for me,my boat or my engine if i use lpg. The petrol here in Greece now costs about 7,1$/gallon (1,5 euro/litre) and the LPG only 3,05$/gallon. It is a little bit expensive. So i just made a thought if i can make my boat with my new 350mag mpi to run on LPG? Is there any kit for this engine. Is there anyone in this forum who has done it?
Thank you very much.

Good way to blow up your boat and everyone else in the vicinity. LPG is heavier than air and vapors will settle in the engine compartment area. LPG vehicles are not even allowed in underground parking facilities because of this explosion hazzarrd..

Ayuh,... 350s can be powered by lpg, but Not with the MPI stuff you've got now...
The conversion would nearly equal the cost of total replacement....

That's a new one on me. Sounds dangerous in any case.

Gasoline vapors do the same thing.
