Q.
What are the advantages of LPG?
A. Due to it's higher
octane content and the fact that it is
a gas, engine combustion is smoother and
quieter. Also, because it contain no additives,
unlike petrol or diesel, it burns cleaner,
which is better for the environment and
helps prolong engine and component life.
Q.
Why is LPG so cheap?
A.
The duty the government charges on LPG
is considerably less that on petrol, in
order to encourage it's use. The 2004
budget was good news for autogas. The
Chancellor announced that the differential
in duty between automotive LPG and petrol
and diesel would be cut by only one penny
per litre per year over each of the next
three years.
Q. How long will
it take to recover the conversion cost?
A. On average, the cost of conversion
should normally be recovered in the first
year by the reduction in fuel costs. Conversion
prices start at £995 plus VAT.
Q. Will my car loose performance?
A.
There is little or no difference in fuel
efficiency or performance, on new cars,
fitted with catalytic converters
using modem sequential LPG
systems.
Q. Where can I get LPG?
A.
At the present time in mainland UK, there
are over 1100 LP gas refueling stations,
the locations of which can be found on
our website. This number is growing all
the time, and as all our conversions are
duel fuel, you will have the backup of
petrol, should you run low.
Q.
Where do you fit the tank?
A.
The tank goes normally in the boot or
in the spare wheel compartment. Your vehicle's
tyres can be filled with a special compound
which will make them virtually puncture
proof, thus eliminating the need for a
spare tyre.
Q.
Can diesels be converted to LPG?
A.
Yes, we can now offer diesel LPG conversions.

Q. Will fitting affect my cars warranty?
A.
In
a word, no! Under European law, manufacturers
cannot invalidate the warranty of your vehicle
if it is converted to LPG. In the unlikely
event that the LPG unit is at fault, all
our conversions are fully guaranteed.
Q. Is it safe?
A. The
automotive use of LPG has an excellent safety
record and various crash tests and fire
tests have proved that, due to the strength
of the fuel tank, it is safer than petrol
and on a par with diesel. In fact, LPG pressurised
fuel tanks have been developed to such a
high standard that they can withstand the
equivalent of a three ton direct hit.
