As with any technical
subject there is a lot of jargon. There are many parts to an LPG conversion, many companies which
claim to have the best in terms of economy, green
fuel helping the environment and the many technical
aspects to a conversion. To help you, our
operations manager,
Rob Carnell is here to explain
all aspects of an LPG conversion.
There are around 5 million
LPG vehicles worldwide, with approximately 100,000 in the UK,
making LPG a viable alternative and a tried and tested road
fuel.
Most spark ignition engines
are suitable for conversion whether using a carburettor, petrol
injection, or vehicles with a catalytic exhaust system.
Conversion takes about 3 days, depending on vehicle type.

We utilise a ‘bi-fuel system’ so that the engine
can run on petrol and LPG with no adverse effects in either
mode.
Rising tax on Petrol and a low tax on LPG
means that
LPG conversion is an
economical choice for all motorists.
With an overall lower cost for the fuel and an
exemption to congestion charges, this all
means handfuls of cash to spend on something
more interesting.
Having an
LPG conversion is very simple to run, simple
to refill, saves money, and saves the
environment.
