LPG CARS
LPG Cars have been creeping into the market recently, but have you wondered if these cars are reliable?
What Is an LPG Car?
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a hydrocarbon gas that exists in a liquefied form. LPG is a colourless, low carbon and highly efficient fuel.
To create an LPG Car, a large tank (often 100 litres) is fitted to the boot of a car. A pipe runs the full length of the car, one side is fitted to the LPG tank and the other is attached to the Petrol engine.
LPG gas runs through the vehicles system just like petrol. When you run out of LPG gas, then your car will automatically switch to petrol.
