Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG )

Autogas is the term generally used for Liquid Petroleum Gas(LPG),when it is used for the propulsion of road vehicles.

It is obtained as a by-product of the distillation from crude oil and "wet" North Sea gas.It is produced in large quantities,a surplus of approximately 4 million tonnes per annum is currently available from the North Sea.This surplus is forecast to increase over the next 20 years.

Advantages over other fuels

• The combination of Autogas is smoother as a result of higher octane content.Unlike other fuels.no additives are required to guarantee high quality.
• Autogas contains no lead and is therefore cleaner.
• It is actually better than petrol because it reaches the engine in pure gas form with improved combustion resulting.
• With modern technology,there is hardly any discharge of carbon monoxide,and compared to petrol or diesel,the exhaust fumes contain less harmful substances.
• The life of the engine is extended as a result of the absence of acids and carbon deposits.
• The engine oil does not become diluted with a consequential reduction in servicing costs.
• Unlike diesel,you do not have to adjust your driving style.Cold starting is no problem,engine performance is almost exactly the same as with petrol.There is no spilling when filling your tank and no possibility of theft or pilfering.Engine noise is low and you'll be driving in a more environment-friendly way.

Current Users of Autogas

Italy leads the field with over a million vehicles on the road,the Netherlands,North America and Mexico each have just under half a million.By far the biggest consumer of Autogas however is Japan,which uses over 1,800,000 tonnes a year.This is hardly surprising given the countries population density and the pollution problems of its major cities such as Tokyo and Yokohama.over 90% of all taxis in Japan are powered by Autogas.

The Safety Record

Autogas has an excellent safety record throughout the world,both in terms of storage,transportation and use.Extensive safety tests have been undertaken with respect to its use and the conclusions reached are that it is substantially safer than petrol due to its more robust fuel tank being more resistant to impact damage.
