What are the advantages of LPG over other fuels?
Compared to petrol, LPG has a higher octane content which makes for smoother combustion. Octane comparisons are:
-
Super grade petrol = 98
-
Lead free petrol = 95
-
LPG = over 100
The main advantages over other fuels are:
-
The combustion of LPG is smoother due to the higher octane content. Unlike other fuels, no additives are needed to guarantee this higher quality.
-
LPG contains no lead resulting in a much cleaner fuel.
-
The result of LPG reaching the engine in pure gas form is improved combustion.
-
There is hardly any production of carbon monoxide and, in comparison to petrol and diesel, the exhaust fumes contain less harmful substances.
-
Due to the absence of carbon deposits and acids, engine life is considerably extended.
-
Servicing costs are reduced because the engine oil does does not become diluted.
-
The environmental advantages of LPG for vehicles are indisputable.
