DUAL FUEL CONVERSIONS – MYTHS BUSTED!
There are numerous myths floating around dual fuel conversions, autogas and its use in your car – Gas Energy Australia busts some of the most prominent ones.
Myth: Dual Fuel Conversions and Autogas are not as safe as other fuels Busted. In Australia, the LPG Autogas industry is controlled by rigorous national standards and additional state regulations. In fact, LPG Autogas is one of the safest fuels on the market.
Myth: Not many service stations sell Autogas Busted. LPG Autogas is available right throughout Australia and has more than 3,700 outlets. You can find Autogas in every suburb and country town.
Myth: It’s difficult to save money because Autogas vehicles have lower fuel efficiency than petrol vehicles. Busted. While some systems have a slight increase in fuel consumption, this is easily offset by the lower price of LPG Autogas to petrol. Many recent Autogas cars take you further on a single tank than some petrol cars.
Myth: Cars lose power after being converted to LPG Autogas Busted. Current advanced Autogas vapour and liquid injection technologies now match and often surpass the power and drivability of petrol systems.
Myth: The gas tank leaves little space in the boot Busted. Modern LPG Autogas tanks leave plenty of boot space for prams, shopping and other common items. For those who don’t want to lose any boot space at all, a donut style tank may be able to be fitted in the spare wheel well. Some of the latest model Autogas cars have fitted the tank underneath the car, meaning no there’s no tank in sight.
