Default LPG only?

Interesting, so the main problem seems to be tank size.

Default LPG only?

Definitely the main worry! I've just converted my kit car to LPG only
and I modified the boot area, after removing the petrol tank, to take a
120l LPG cylinder. I don't honestly think it's that much more of an
issue than running out of petrol would have been in the early days if
you watch your mileage. Some people, me included, have made up
'emergency kits' that will allow the
tank to be filled from a small LPG cyilnder if you get stuck, but you
MUST pay the duty on the LPG if you intend to use it as a road fuel and
keep the evidence for the tax man. I don't think they'd be seriously
concerned about anyone using a 3kg bottle as an emergency tank, but they
have to consider people who might use the large cylinders as their main
source, thus evading paying tax. (This is likely to get you a 1am wakeup
call from the C&E.)
