Liquid Petroleum Gas Conversions FAQ's
40% of LPG comes from the refining of crude oil 60% straight from field production. At atmospheric pressure it is a vapour, under modest pressure it becomes liquid.
Yes, and with dual fuel capability you will almost
double your range.
(However most people when they realise the enormous savings by running
predominantly on LPG tend to keep a minimum amount of petrol in the tank for
emergency only.)
No. In fact, because LPG is a cleaner burning fuel engine life is extended and less maintenance is required. The one exception is engines using leaded petrol. These engines are not suitable and LPG may damage the engine. (Exactly the same reason as why some leaded petrol engines could not make the switch to unleaded fuel.)
There is very little difference in performance with the conventional conversion- however, with an injection system performance can actually be increased! Some drivers report increased drivability and for diesel engined vehicles there is a significant reduction in noise.
For executive type booted vehicles the space in between the rear wheel arches in the boot is normally sufficient to fit a tank that will deliver a range up to 300miles, or if boot space is important a tank fitted into the wheel well is normally an acceptable alternative.
All LPG tanks are rigorously tested and all are considerably stronger than conventional petrol tanks, using at least a 3mm metal plate as opposed to the normal 1mm (or even plastic) material for petrol tanks.
Currently the average cost of LPG is 36p/ltr. and the government is committed
to maintaining the duty at 41/2p at least until 2004.
Why? Unlike the 1970s the environment is high on the political agenda.
Yes, there are grants available for qualifying vehicles and these are determined by the Powershift organisation based on confirmed vehicle emissions, not all vehicles qualify, but to check if yours does, check out the Powershift register. However, we would sort all this out for you as part of our service.
To date there are 1300+ refueling stations around the country and this is being added to almost daily. Check out the "Refueling map" on the Powershift Web site. Most noticeable however, are the increasing number of motorway service stations that now offer LPG.
All OEM dual fuel vehicles carry full manufacturers warranty. Our retrofit specialist will cover the LPG system; however conversions to new vehicle's warranties need to be checked with your dealer.
