Using LPG Over Petrol- Is Really A True Solution?
Liquid petroleum gas is a popular
energy fuel today and it is of propane and autogas. It is a by-product of crude
oil extraction and follows the refining process. These days, it has become a
popular alternative of petrol. In both commercial and residential places, the
demand for LPG is getting increased. It is a greener way of living today. Over
the years, we have used petrol to run our cars and contributed to greenhouse
gases. But no more we can do that. Today we have LPG and definitely it is a
better alternative.
There are some myths regarding the
usage of LPG for cars. Today, we will clear that. The first myth is that LPG
damages the car engine.
Generally, LPG car engine warms up
quicker than petrol even with a cold engine. Petrol engines take really long
time to heat up. LPG is of high octane and it has far less pre-ignition and
burns in a cleaner way. The LPG car engine will run smoothly with cleaner
valves, spark plugs, cylinder heads, and pistons.
LPG conversion
In order to save some bucks and
increase the car engine’s life, a lot of people are planning for LPG
conversion. If you too are planning then you may have typically a lot of
questions. LPG conversion is basically a second fuel system including intake
manifold modifications, tank, an ECU and various fittings. This addition mainly
helps the vehicle to run on both fuels.

engine

a cleaner way in comparison with petrol and diesel. And that’s why the car
engine’s life gets extended. It does not also damage the engine. It also allows
the engine components to run longer. You know that LPG is over 100 octane and
that’s why there is no pre-ignition or a damage to engine.
