I have a question about inspections that are required for owners of LPG vehicles.

What are the required inspections, how frequently do they have to be done and what do they cost?

Note I don't actually own/or plan to own an LPG vehicle but I am asking on behalf of someone else!

These vehicles require an annual LPG WoF which costs around $50. Every 10 years the tank needs to be removed, inspected and fully tested (just like a BBQ bottle). The cost for this varies, as it depends on how much labour is involved in removing and re-fitting the tank, but an average price is around $500 - $600.
