LPG is an extremely safe fuel.
It has been used in vehicles for at least 30 years. As a fuel, LPG is safer than gasoline (conclusion of the Danish Research Institute “TNO”), because:
- It diffuses directly into the air, and requires twice the temperature to ignite.
- It has the lowest flammability range of any alternative fuel
- Leaks are very easily detected thanks to the very characteristic smell of LPG resulting from a special additive as a safety measure
- LPG is a non-toxic, non-poisonous gas for humans.
The LPG tanks we select and install in cars are made of special carbon and steel alloys and are 20 times more durable than petrol tanks. They are tested at high pressures and in the event of
impact do not break or open, keeping the LPG safely stored. In the videos below you can see some examples of their durability.
All the systems we install have multiple safety valves.
The LPG system does not communicate with the interior of the vehicle.
The LPG flow is interrupted if a fault occurs in any part of the system, or when the engine is not running. If the vehicle catches fire, the pressure of the tank is controlled through expansion valves, in order to prevent its destruction – explosion. In the event of a possible leak, the gas is dispersed into the environment and does not accumulate in the surrounding area like liquid fuels.
