What is LPG and what is LPG conversion?
Liquefied petroleum gas is a convenient energy source used for many purposes including for heating and cooking, as well as for vehicle fuel. Forty per cent of LPG comes from refining crude oil and 60% comes from field production. The number of vehicles using LPG (also referred to as ‘autogas’) as an alternative to petroleum is growing rapidly. Recent estimates suggest there are more than 11million vehicles using LPG worldwide, with four million of those located in Europe. Of course you can’t simply use LPG in a vehicle that is accustomed to taking petroleum. Consequently, LPG conversion is seen as a straightforward and cost effective way of altering a petrol vehicle to run on LPG.
