Many people contemplating converting their cars to run on LPG wonder just how safe LPG is as a fuel. Because it’s called Liquid Petroleum Gas many people are concerned about its stability. Gas might be quite dangerous, however LPG isn’t necessarily.

LPG is a very safe fuel which has some excellent reports for safety, the main reason that LPG cars and trucks are safe is because of the way the fuel tank is constructed. This fuel tank is different to a petrol tank and is much more robust, this means that it won’t become damaged as easily.

LPG installations also have safety features to help prevent danger if there is a leak. LPG systems use quick fuel cut off systems which use 3 solenoids to shut off the LPG system if there is an accident, or if the car is not currently running. If an accident causes any damage to the fuel lines then the flow of gas will automatically be cut off.

Many people are so interested in the safety of using alternative fuels because they are considering using them in their vehicles which will carry their children. Any LPG system will be safe as long as it is installed professionally. Remember these are not the types of system that you can install by yourself in a weekend, by doing that you are asking for trouble.

So is LPG really safe?

Believe it or not LPG is perfectly safe; it is perfectly stable and is no more dangerous than petrol. As the tanks are even tougher than petrol tanks safety is ensured. No matter whether LPG is installed in a car or commercial vehicle such as a van or truck the system is still safe.

If you are ever in an accident then your car will automatically shut off the supply of LPG in a similar way to how many cars shut off their petrol supply. This ensures that you are kept safe without the risk of any fuel catching fire.

Some people are more worried about installing LPG in their car because petrol tanks will remain in the vehicle. Your car has been designed to hold a petrol tank, however just because you fit an LPG tank it doesn’t mean that it’s bad news. As long as your alternative fuel tank is installed professionally it shouldn’t cause any problems.

All LPG tanks and systems undergo a series of tests to ensure that they won’t put you in any danger. Any decent alternative fuel system will ensure that the fuel supply is cut should your car ever be in an accident.

Alternative fuels are the way of the future, but that doesn’t mean you have to make any compromises in terms of the safety of your car.

Crude oil is composed of hydrocarbons and carbons, and these various compounds, all contained within the crude, separate out at different temperatures. So when crude is refined, the first step is to progressively heat it up, pulling out each element as it reaches its separation point. Lighter elements like propane are the first to separate; diesel comes a little later.

Petrol is a lighter fuel than diesel; it will separate out from the crude at a lower temperature, and before diesel in the process.  Diesel, being heavier, combusts at a higher temperature than petrol.  Approximately 10% of the cost of a gallon of petrol is for refining; that portion is approximately 21% for diesel.  Diesel also creates more energy than petrol from the same amount of fuel.  Higher temperatures and greater combustion mean that a diesel engine must be more durable than a petrol engine, and therefore they are more expensive.

Worldwide, diesel-powered vehicles are outselling petrol-powered ones.  This is primarily due to rising demand in China and India, but also Europe.  Demand is rising in the United States as well, partly due to the popularity of “bio-diesel” and its supposed benefits to the environment over normally-produced diesel fuel.

The traditional image of diesel vehicles is loud, knocking engines pouring black smoke out the vehicle’s tailpipe.  Yet today’s reality is far from that.  New, more efficient engines burn a higher percentage of the fuel.  The fuel itself has been improved over the years, with different weights and lower sulphur levels, resulting in less pollution with no loss in power or torque.  And diesel fuel can be combined with LP gas to create even more efficiency, mileage, and power.

Many diesel vehicles utilize turbocharged engines to create even higher efficiencies. These offer advantages in power, of course, but diesel engines, and particularly turbocharged ones, operate at much lower efficiency when cold.  In cooler climates, their efficiency is noticeably lower and they also produce far more particulates, which are a major contributor to pollution and global warming.

Particulates in the crude oil itself are filtered out in the refining process, and that’s true for biodiesel as well.  No vehicle can run on used cooking oil, with its leftover matter still floating around.  It, too, must be refined.  But with the popularity of biodiesel on the rise, many restaurants are finding their used cooking oil is turning into liquid gold.  And while the refining operation of vegetable oil can be done at home, it still takes time, labour and materials that many people either don’t have or aren’t willing to come up with.

For most people today, finding a way to create more efficiency and power from the readily-available diesel at the station is the best solution.  Many are turning to Eco-Gas, as a long-term solution to the rising price of diesel.  Once installed, this Australian product will save users up to 30% in diesel fuel costs.  At the current price of diesel, it won’t take long to recoup that initial investment—and the savings will grow from there.

Eco-Gas also lowers tailpipe emissions, so while you’re doing something good for your pocket, you’re also helping the environment.  That’s why so many people are turning to Eco-Gas.  It’s got the benefits of a clean-fuel car without buying the premium-priced new car!

First, the LP fuel tank.  In the majority of installations, the tank is about one-fourth the size of the diesel tank in the vehicle.  So if you drive a Land Cruiser, you’ll probably have an installation of a 27–37 litre tank beneath your vehicle.  The tank size will depend on the year and model of your Land Cruiser, as there are variations within the Land Cruiser family.  In almost all installations the LP tank can be mounted beneath the vehicle.  If that is impossible due to low clearance or other factors, the tank can safely be mounted inside the vehicle, usually in the cargo area.  This is completely safe and done to Australian Standard 1425.

The tank delivers the LP gas to a pressurized injector, which vaporises the gas, monitors your fuel supply and injects the LP gas into the air intake system.  When the LP gas meets the diesel fuel, the combustion of the two fuels occurs with more power than when either fuel is used on its own.  The two fuels also burn at a hotter temperature together than separate.  Because of the increased temperature and power, the fuel is burnt more completely, which is more efficient than leaving a higher percentage unburnt. 

Computerized sensors (installed with the system) monitor your engine’s load and efficiency, and only inject the vaporised LPG at the optimum time. Because of the computerized monitoring, the system constantly adjusts to the current needs of your vehicle, creating even less waste and more power and efficiency. 

Any diesel vehicle can be fitted with this system—remember, the LP tank will be about one-fourth the size of your diesel tank.  So a 100 litre diesel tank will be outfitted with an LP tank of about 24 litres.  Within your vehicle, a gas level gauge and a switch are mounted, usually in or around your dash.

On the exterior, a gas filler is installed, usually near the diesel filler. The components of the eco-gas system itself are located in the engine area.  These include the pressure regulator, the gas distributor, LP gas injectors, and engine control module, which oversees the entire operation. 
Once this system is installed, you’ll notice more power, better mileage, and less wear and tear on your vehicle. Your oil will stay cleaner since there is less unburnt fuel floating around your engine, and the engine components that are lubricated by that oil will stay cleaner and last longer.
Also, the tax schemes and incentives offered through the government make the system more affordable than ever.  The more you know about LP gas injection systems, the more sense they make.

Both fuels are sprayed or vaporised into the cylinder.  When the piston rises within the cylinder, the fuel and air mixture is compressed.  An explosion of the fuel and air mixture occurs, forcing the piston back down.  The piston is attached to a crankshaft, which transfers the up-and-down motion of the pistons to a round-and-round motion that propels the vehicle forward.  Once the explosion has occurred and the piston has dropped back to the bottom of the cylinder, more fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and the process repeats , and this is where the differences between the fuels becomes apparent. 

Petrol does not heat up enough when compressed to ignite on its own.  For this reason, these engines require a spark plug at the top of the cylinder.  When timed correctly, the piston rises and compresses the gasoline/air mixture, pushing it near the spark plug.  The spark plug fires, the mixture ignites and explodes, and the heated mixture expands, forcing the piston down.  However, without the spark, nothing would happen because of petrol’s inability to explode under compression without a little help.

Diesel, on the other hand, can ignite and explode without a spark because, under the correct pressure, it self-combusts.  The rub, as they say, is that it requires higher pressure to self-combust a diesel mixture than a gasoline mixture. In diesel engines the air is compressed first, and then the diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder, causing combustion.

The efficiency of the two engines is slightly different, as well.  If all of the fuel were converted to energy, you would have a 100% efficient engine.  Unfortunately, we aren’t there yet.  There is waste in any engine, whether petrol or diesel. Diesel has a higher “energy content” than petrol, meaning you will extract more energy from a litre of diesel than you will for a litre of petrol.

Firstly you might want to know exactly how much money you will save by converting your car to EcoGas. This will depend on the amount of fuel your truck or car runs on at the moment; LPG is much cheaper than petrol and diesel and should stay that way for a long time.

Although LPG is cheaper than traditional fuels you will have to think about how much it will cost to convert your truck to run on LPG. The actual costs will depend mainly on the type, size and mileage of car you are converting. Although this can seem like a very expensive project, you should compare it to the amount of money you can save. Work out how long it will take for you to cover the costs of your conversion, will it be years or months?

Once you’ve worked out how long it will take to recover the money you spend on the conversion you should also work out how long you will want to keep the car for. You can then decide whether an LPG system is beneficial to you.

You might also want to know whether your car can be converted to run on LPG, while LPG is a very common alternative fuel it’s not suitable for every car. However technology is improving each and every day, which now means it is possible to convert a diesel truck to run on LPG.

If you are deciding whether you should convert your car to run on EcoGas then it’s a good idea to make sure you know exactly what you are letting yourself in for! The only real disadvantage of these systems are the installation costs, however over time you should be able to recover these costs.

LPG is a really good way to make your truck less of a problem to the environment while also saving you money at the same time. Saving money is of course what most people are interested in doing. It’s fantastic that LPG has very few disadvantages.

When installing LPG systems it is important to go to only recognized installers, as these systems can be dangerous if they are not installed correctly. It’s also a good idea to get at least three different quotes to make sure that you are paying a fair price. Not all LPG systems are the same, so it’s a good idea to compare a few different options to make sure you’re getting everything that you require.

When researching LPG options the internet is your friend, there are hundreds of sites devoted to this wonderful fuel which can help to make your decision for you!

If your truck runs out of LPG then the system will automatically switch to run on diesel as it normally does, this won’t cause any problems apart from costing you more money. You can avoid running out of LPG by fitting large enough tanks. Running without any LPG fuel does not cause any problems, and doesn’t mean you have to purge the system or anything like that.

Are these systems completely reliable?

It’s not possible to guarantee that anything will work every single day, however LPG systems are now more reliable than ever. These systems will revert to running on a 100% mix of diesel should the system develop a fault.

Does LPG mean performance is decreased?

Actually this is not the case; the gas delivers a similar amount of power and torque compared to diesel.

How big a tank do I need to fit to my truck?

As with everything else, this will depend on your personal circumstances. This will mainly depend on the amount of diesel that your trucks use, and how often you need to fill them up. It can be difficult to fill up LPG when you are away from your base, whereas diesel can be filled up anywhere.

Will an LPG system void my trucks warranty?

Warranties are what protects you should your truck break down, obviously if anything happens then they will probably try to point the finger at your LPG system. They will give you a difficult time should you try to convert your vehicle to run on LPG.

However make sure that you don’t let this bother you, if you stand your ground then they should be willing to accept this and it shouldn’t affect your warranty.

Many manufactures of LPG systems also offer guarantees that not only cover the system, but also the engine of the vehicle should anything go wrong.

Where can I put LPG in my Truck?

It will be easiest and cheapest to top your trucks LPG up at your base; you can buy gas in large quantities to put into your vehicles yourself. There are also hundreds of fuel stations that supply LPG to both commercial and family vehicles. It should be possible to find out about these by searching on the internet. Although there aren’t as many filling stations for LPG as there are for petrol you shouldn’t have a problem finding one.

Does an LPG conversion affect my insurance?

As long as an LPG conversion is done professionally there is no reason that it should affect your insurance. It is however advisable to consult your insurance company before carrying out any conversion and also informing them once the conversion is completed.

So there you go, hopefully you know more about LPG conversions and how they can be used to save you money, protect the environment, and do everything safely! It can be confusing to find out about LPG systems; however it’s defiantly worthwhile taking the time out to do some research.

If your truck runs out of LPG then the system will automatically switch to run on diesel as it normally does, this won’t cause any problems apart from costing you more money. You can avoid running out of LPG by fitting large enough tanks. Running without any LPG fuel does not cause any problems, and doesn’t mean you have to purge the system or anything like that.

Are these systems completely reliable?

It’s not possible to guarantee that anything will work every single day, however LPG systems are now more reliable than ever. These systems will revert to running on a 100% mix of diesel should the system develop a fault.

Does LPG mean performance is decreased?

Actually this is not the case; the gas delivers a similar amount of power and torque compared to diesel.

How big a tank do I need to fit to my truck?

As with everything else, this will depend on your personal circumstances. This will mainly depend on the amount of diesel that your trucks use, and how often you need to fill them up. It can be difficult to fill up LPG when you are away from your base, whereas diesel can be filled up anywhere.

Will an LPG system void my trucks warranty?

Warranties are what protects you should your truck break down, obviously if anything happens then they will probably try to point the finger at your LPG system. They will give you a difficult time should you try to convert your vehicle to run on LPG.

However make sure that you don’t let this bother you, if you stand your ground then they should be willing to accept this and it shouldn’t affect your warranty.

Many manufactures of LPG systems also offer guarantees that not only cover the system, but also the engine of the vehicle should anything go wrong.

Well, now there is.

Eco-gas is a way to enhance both your fuel economy and torque, as well as reducing emissions considerably.  That black smoke coming out your tailpipe?  It should be green, because it’s money you’ve put into the tank that hasn’t burned completely, and is now being ejected into our atmosphere.  For every litre of diesel you purchase, 2.7 kilos of greenhouse gasses are emitted—a cost in more ways than one.

Eco-gas will help your wallet and the environment at the same time.  The D-gas system works with your current vehicle engine, so there’s no need to buy a new one.  This system injects LP gas vapour into your manifold, creating an immediate increase in power and torque.  That means your vehicle will go farther on each sip of fuel. 

The fuel combination is burnt much more completely, as well, so your dollar goes farther.  You’ll see an immediate difference in tailpipe emissions the first time the system kicks in.  In fact, you can get an idea of your potential savings here by typing in a few figures to our “Cool Savings” calculator.

In fact, people who have installed the D-gas system have seen their net fuel consumption reduced by 20%.  Now, pull out those receipts for last month’s fuel purchases, and figure a 20% reduction.  How much is that?  Multiply by 12 to see how much you could save over the course of an entire year, and the figure will probably astound you. 

Installing the system is quick and easy, too.  It’s designed to function with any diesel system, and can be installed in one day, so your vehicle will have very little down time.  Appointments can usually be scheduled within 10 days, and if you don’t seen an installer on our list who’s near you, we’ll find one.  Within a few days you’ll begin to enjoy the benefits of more power, less petrol, and fewer emissions.

Also, Canberra offers rebates on installation of the D-gas eco-gas system.  $2000 is offered for passenger vehicles, and for light and heavy commercial vehicles, you could benefit from one or both of the Fuel Tax Credits rebate scheme and/or the Government Rebate Scheme for Heavy Industry.

The D-gas system also reduces engine oil contaminants, which means your engine will get lubricated with cleaner oil.  It also reduces carbon build-up within other components because, of course, less carbon is being produced in the first place. 

Your engine will run cleaner and longer, and use less fuel in the first place.  You’ll also notice more power for those times you need good acceleration or torque.

You’ve made an investment in your vehicle, and a D-gas conversion is the best way to make sure that investment pays you back for years to come.  Read our FAQ page for answers to the questions we most often receive, and then call us at 1 800 78 48 82 to clear up any lingering issues or schedule a booking.
