What is LP Gas?
LP Gas/LPG/Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a hydrocarbon fuel comprising of Propane, Butane or Propylene either separately or as a blend. LP Gas is a non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-polluting and free of lead gas.
How safe is LP Gas
All LP ZGas converted vehicles operating in Australia have been done so to a National Standard that is one of the strictest and safest in the world.
Is LP Gas environmentally friendly?
Yes LP Gas is safe, viable and clean. When a LP gas system is correctly installed, tuned and maintained the vehicles impact on the environment is that it emits lower greenhouse emissions, less smog forming carcinogenic pollutants and particulates. Independent studies have shown that a modern engine fitted with a closed loop (VSI) LP Gas system will reduce emissions as much as 34% reduction in oxides of nitrogen, 15% reduction in carbon dioxides and 50-60% reduction in carbnon monoxide. Virtually zero evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons. Potentially zero emissions of Sulphur Dioxide and air toxins. LP Gas is environmentally friendly and is commonly referred to as the "Green Fuel".
