Driving on LPG is safe and easy to do. Just like petrol, LPG vapour can ignite, but unlike petrol, LPG is stored in the vehicle in a strong, steel tank and has a number of safety valves.

Independent tests by the TNO in Holland concluded that LPG vehicles were safer in an accident than petrol powered vehicles. In fire service tests in the UK it was demonstrated that, in the event of a serious fire, occupants in a vehicle have three times longer to evacuate with LPG than petrol.

Most petrol engines can be converted by the addition of a second fuel system - LPG. This means that the vehicle will continue to run on petrol (for instance if you run out of LPG) and the LPG tank can be fitted in the spare wheel well or in some cases below the vehicle so you do not lose any boot space. The fuel tanks are 20 times more puncture resistant, and can withstand far more pressure than typical fuel tanks.
