What is liquefied petroleum gas?
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is a combination of propane gas and butane gas. Liquefied petroleum gas is produced during the refining of oil and natural gas. In its natural state it is gaseous but it is stored, under pressure, as a liquid in the liquefied petroleum gas tank. It is an odourless gas, but to make it easier to identify an odour has been added to it.

Is liquefied petroleum gas safe?
Liquefied petroleum gas is a safe fuel. Extremely high safety requirements must be met for its transport and storage. Independent inspection bodies have approved the liquefied petroleum gas system’s individual components. The Vialle LPi liquefied petroleum gas installations are installed exclusively by specialised companies that comply with strict standards. They have trained personnel and special tools that are required for installing and repairing Vialle LPi liquefied petroleum gas systems.
Driving a vehicle using a liquefied petroleum gas system is just as safe as driving using petrol or diesel. The system is equipped with various safety features and complies with strict legislation. The Ministry of Transport supervises the installation.

Fuel consumption?
As liquefied petroleum gas has a lower energy value per volume unit than petrol, the consumption when driving will be approximately 20% higher than the consumption you are used to from petrol. Ultimately, the extra consumption depends on the ratio of propane to butane of the liquefied petroleum gas you have refuelled with.

Powerloss?
With the Vialle LPi system there is no powerloss.

Loosing trunkspace?
In most cases the LPG tank takes the place of the sparewheel. Therefor little to no loss of trunk space is applicable.

Maintenance, service and faults?
The Vialle LPi liquefied petroleum gas system is completely maintenance free. It is therefore not necessary to have the system serviced periodically.

Is liquefied petroleum gas suitable for every petrol engine?
No, there are engines that are not suitable for use with liquefied petroleum gas. In many cases, it is possible to make an engine suitable through a simple alteration. Ask the Vialle installation specialist or the dealer from whom you purchased or collected the vehicle.
