Commonly Asked Questions about LPG as a Fuel Source What is LPG? LPG or liquefied petroleum gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases used as a fuel in heating appliances and vehicles. Many companies are switching to LPG in an effort to reduce damage to the ozone layer. When specifically used as a vehicle fuel it is often referred to as autogas or auto propane. In the United States only two grades of LPG are sold, commercial propane and HD-5. These specifications are published by the Gas Processors Association (GPA) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM). What are the Benefits of LPG? There are a number of benefits associated with converting to LPG. Some but not all include: • Supports fleet-centered businesses that are trying to make their service more environmentally friendly. • The government offers rebates for businesses that convert their fleet of vehicles. • Fueling costs are lower. • Maintenance and repair costs are reduced. • Many governments impose less tax on LPG when compared to other fuel sources. • Overall increase in annual savings for businesses in less fuel, maintenance and repair costs, contributing to business growth. LPG is the ideal way to convert a fleet of vehicles to increase eco-initiatives while saving maintenance and fuel costs. How to Find Conversion Specialists. It’s recommended that the service hired to perform the conversion is a specialist at alternative fuel sources. There are many gas stations and car manufacturers that may offer a conversion system installation but only a company that is 100% dedicated to alternative fuel source conversions will have the information and high-quality products that will ensure a safe and lasting conversion. Ask the company about their technicians. A reputable conversion specialist will have trained and licensed technicians that continue their training on a regular basis to be up to date on any changes or products within the industry.
