The
technology to run petrol engined vehicles on LPG has been around
for many years and has been widely used in Europe, the U.K.
presently has approximately 1000 autogas
filling stations, Australia has 3 500, Italy has 1750 and in The
Netherlands almost every petrol filling station is equipped with a
gas filling point.
In South Africa previous attempts to introduce LPG as an
alternative fuel have been largely unsuccessful, this
has been primarily due to primitive
equipment in the form of vaporisers and mixers and also the price
of petrol in this Country once being relatively cheap.
This
situation is, as everyone is aware, changing very quickly, with
the high cost of petrol and the advent of sophisticated autogas
products and electronics LPG is now a very viable solution to cost
effective and environmentally friendly motoring
