Refuelling with autogas is as safe and simple as filling up with petrol or diesel. Vehicles of all types, from cars to HGVs, coaches to boats, can all run safely on autogas. Here we explore some of the benefits of converting to autogas.

• Autogas requires a much higher temperature to ignite compared to petrol and diesel.
• Components are thoroughly tested by independent labs prior to entering the market.
• Autogas has the lowest flammability range of any fossil fuel.
• Unlike petrol and diesel, if autogas leaks it does not pool or puddle, but instead vaporises and dissipates into the air.
  
• Since autogas is released as a vapour, it can’t be ingested like petrol or diesel.
• Autogas fuel tanks are 20 times more puncture resistant, and can withstand far more pressure than typical fuel tanks.
• In its natural state, autogas is virtually odourless and colourless. The unpleasant smell you might associate with propane is added to autogas to help with detection in case of a leak.
• Autogas is a nontoxic, non-corrosive fuel. It poses no hazard to groundwater, surface water or soil.
• There are strict regulations and standards set by experts in Government and the European Union.

Autogas is considered as safe as any conventional automotive fuel and has been used in vehicles for almost 100 years. And it's good to know that autogas meets the same standards for safety as conventionally fuelled vehicles.
