Vehicles running on LPG : basic facts

posted on April 25th, 2007 in Liquified Gas (LPG, LNG) Vehicles

LPG content:   40% of LPG comes from the refining of crude oil and 60% straight from field production.
At atmospheric pressure “autogas” is a vapour, under modest pressure it becomes liquid.

gas emission:  Autogas reduces CO2 emissions from vehicles previously powered by petrol by 15%.
Autogas also emits 97% less Benzene than unleaded petrol.

refuelling:
Currently there are more than 1,200 LPG refuelling stations in the UK,

 tank size: For a range of about 300 miles most LPG tanks take up less space than a spare wheel.

vehicle conversion : 
Most unleaded petrol engined vehicles can be converted to run on Autogas
and the cost can usually be recouped within two years.
