What is Autogas?

Autogas is the name used for the Automotive applications of the fuel source Propane or LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas). It is also widely known as: “Auto Propane”, “LPGas” or “Propane Autogas”.

Autogas is a gaseous fuel and a mixture of butane and propane. It is composed of three parts carbon and eight parts hydrogen making it a highly efficient, low carbon producing fuel. Liquid Autogas is non-compressible, which allows a large amount of Autogas to be stored in the fuel tank. When Autogas vaporizes, its volume will increase by factor 230. This volume increase has many advantages for its combustion. Vaporization allows Autogas to mix properly with air. This produces a homogeneous combustion. It will combust more completely than petrol or diesel and will therefore produce less pollution.
