Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is LPG and where does it come from?
40% of LPG comes from the refining of crude oil and 60% straight from field production. At atmospheric pressure itis a vapour, under modest pressure it becomes liquid.

Most of my fleet is diesel powered?
This is not uncommon, so make the switch when your vehicles come up for replacement. Let us carry out a cost saving analysis now so you can see the benefits of changing your fleet to run on Autogas.

With care for the environment becoming a higher day-to-day priority, schemes are also being put in place which see taxation, insurance and parking incentives towards LPG vehicles.

What about the cost?
Autogas retails at around half the price per litre of unleaded petrol and diesel.

What happens if an Autogas vehicle is involved in an accident?
All LPG tanks are rigorously tested and all are considerably stronger than conventional fuel tanks. In Australia we  have stringent safety standards for Autogas vehicles and by selecting a reputable equipment manufacturer and/or converter approved by the LPGA you are assured peace of mind.

How much cleaner is Autogas than petrol?
Carbon dioxide is widely regarded as a main contributor to the greenhouse effect, which is making our planet warmer. Autogas reduces CO2 emissions from vehicles previously powered by petrol by 15%. Autogas also emits 97% less Benzene than unleaded petrol.

How much cleaner is Autogas than diesel?
The black smoke that we see coming from diesel vehicles cause over 20,000 premature deaths a year. By replacing a diesel engine with an Autogas equivalent, over 90% less of this particulate matter would be emitted.

If I convert my vehicles to Autogas, can I still drive on petrol?
Yes, and with bi-fuel you'll almost double your range. The petrol tank still remains in the car and the driver can switch from gas to petrol, or vice-versa.

Can LPG damage my engine?
No. In fact, LPG is a cleaner burning fuel engine, so life is extended and less maintenance is required.

Will converting affect the performance?
There is very little difference in performance - however, with a liquid injection system, performance can be increased by 5%. Some drivers find increased drivability and for anyone used to driving on diesel, there's obviously a significant reduction in noise.
