Autogas is widely available in most European countries. The LPGA website provides links to other websites that include the locations of refuelling sites abroad. Check www.lpga.co.uk.

All AFS conversions are termed as Bi-Fuel. This basically means that all original petrol characteristics and ancillary functions are retained. The systems installed by AFS will automatically revert to petrol when the LPG tank is empty and also have the facility to manually switch to petrol at the touch of a button and back again, at any time, even while on the move.

Most engines can be converted to bi-fuel, but if you have any doubts it is best to talk to an approved installer (see 2 above).

We can convert the majority of petrol cars. Aldesa LPG systems has been used to power cars in more than 20 countries.

Only certain firms allow this, and usually at an extra charge. Most standard hires cover travel in the UK mainland and Northern (but not Southern) Ireland.

A blend of propane and butane, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is produced either as a by-product of oil-refining, or from natural gas (methane) fields. As an alternative fuel it is most suited to use in cars and light vans, rather than heavy vehicles. Performance-wise, LPG vehicles drive just like petrol vehicles and are subject to the same maintenance schedules. It is generally accepted that LPG gives a 10-15% carbon dioxide reduction in comparison to petrol and is on a par with diesel.

You will be able to flick back to petrol by a button or switch until you reach an LPG autogas refuelling station.

The previous approach to diesel conversion was to totally replace diesel with lpg. This did not work very well. We are actively looking into alternative lpg adaptions for diesel engines. Once we have trailed a successful method we will be rolling it out.

Your car will be converted to run as a duel-fuel vehicle (petrol & LPG). At a flick of a switch on the dashboard, you can change from the LPG tank to the petrol tank - allowing you to reach a LPG refuelling point.
