One for the LPG experts/fans.
According to http://www.flogas.co.uk/autogas/faq/
I was always under the impression cold-starting on LPG was a big no-no and asking for trouble. (LPG has a refrigerating effect as it vapourises [I think that's the correct UK spelling!], causing some component(s) to stick if the engine is cold [or something like that!])
Any ideas, chaps?

Oil and filter life can be doubled as LPG leaves less deposits in the combustion process than petrol / diesel, thus reducing the chances of oil contamination. Cylinder and piston wear is reduced because LPG mixes better with the air during cold starts as it enters the chamber as a gas, as opposed to diesel and petrol, which enter as a liquid.
