LPG FUEL CONVERSION...
There is no doubt about it, Liquid Petroleum Gas is the fuel of the future... and STS are already established LPG fuel conversion specialists. Many people are still not familiar with the benefits of LPG or what exactly it is...
Allow us to explain...
What is LPG?
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of propane and butane. When used as a vehicle fuel it is often referred to as autogas. The simple chemical make up of the gases ( click here for details ) ensures that they are clean burning.
How do I get the gas?
LPG is becooming increasingly visible in many petrol stations around the country. Bedford itself has 5 within a few miles of the centre. LPG dispensers look and operate much like a normal petrol or diesel pump. The customer simply attaches a bayonet-type connection to the tank nozzle and locks on, then pushes a button to start the flow of gas from the dispenser to the vehicle. It's very easy to use, quick, clean and safe.
How will converting my car to LPG save me money?
Autogas is half the price of diesel or petrol. This is because the tax is far lower in recognition of its environmental benefits. There are also benefits such as a small reduction in Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) and reduced engine wear.
How will it affect my car's performance?
Modern LPG conversions suffer no noticeable loss of performance. Engines will run smoother and be slightly quieter.
How does LPG fuel conversion work?
The conversion adds a second independent fuel system, making the car bi-fuel or capable of running on either petrol or LPG. This requires a second tank, usually installed in the spare wheel well.
Can I still drive on petrol?
The conversion adds a second fuel system, leaving the original petrol system in place. Therefore the car drives as before on petrol and will normally cold start on petrol. However, when you start filling up with LPG you will be loathe to buy more petrol than you absolutely have to.
How much does it cost?
This depends on the vehicle to be converted. Give STS a call on 01234 269800 for more information and a quote.
