There are straight LPG vehicles as well as dual fuel, in fact they are
more common now in the US than the dual fuel, and they start and run
even in January in Minnesota. In cold climates you have a tank heater
and a vaporizer assist, which is used only for starting.
What vaporizer are you running, a Vialle? I was talking to a guy in
Sweden with a straight propane Saab turbo. He had freezeups on a Vialle
fuelock/vaporizer, and he switched to a US Impco unit with larger
coolant feed hoses and is fine. As long as the coolant flowa it can't
freeze-a propane vaporizer doesn't use but a tiny fraction of engine
heat.
