As indicated else where, LPG is a dry substance, hence no lubricating factors in it, which will result eventually in more engine wear than with liquids. We're talking cumulative here, not much noticed short term.

As I said the burning problem was on older models. Nowadays, you see it only with buses in Paris. I don't think I have heard of one of these things burning since the early 1990's. However, one of the bus burnt something like last year.
