Q: How long does LPG conversion take?
A: Usually ONE day with us. (With our competitors usually 2-5 days.)
Q: How much does it cost?
A: Check our 'Services & Prices' but you already know they are the best, don't you?
Q: What LPG conversion actually does to my vehicle?
A: In very simple words it means adding second independent fuel system. Maybe we should call it "adding" not converting (?) as a matter of fact we are adding another fuel system to a vehicle so it can run on either petrol or gas independently. It means your vehicle becomes "dual-fuel" or "bi-fuel". (Not converted to gas only.)
Q: Does the conversion affect performance?
A: From our experience and from our clients feedback there is no power loss at all or very slight loss which we could describe is in the range 1-3%. It depends very much on the car itself. But what is the most important all our customers agree that performance loss, if there is any at all, is negligible and does not affect their driving.
Q: Can the conversion affect my engine?
A: Yes, in positive way. Autogas is a fuel that burns cleaner than petrol so it can reduce wear and tear of your vehicle's engine.
Q: Can every vehicle be converted to run on LPG?
A: Almost. In general the only condition is that engine must be in good order as gas is more "sensitive" fuel. So if there are any issues with the engine they are more likely to come to the surface on gas.
The conclusion is: if engine is sound - no problem, it can be converted.
Q: What kind of vehicles can be converted to LPG?
A: Any. We have converted standard cars, 4x4's, camper vans, buses and ... I know you will laugh now but we even converted a petrol lawnmower. Seriously. It was running like a dream. And it was great fun as well.
And do not forget boats!. They can be converted to LPG as well.
Q: What system do you install?
A: Of course system depends on your car (or vehicle) but in most cases we install highly reliable 'AC STAG' or 'OMVL Dream' kits. They are available as single point and sequential multipoint injection systems. Have a look in "Conversion" section for more info.
Q: What about value of my car?
A: The value of your car understandably increases as your vehicle becomes 'dual-fuel' or 'bi-fuel'.
Q: What about my insurance?
A: We do not know about any insurance company that would not want to insure your car because of the LPG conversion. Insurance premium can increase a little bit sometimes because of the increase of your car's value.
Q: What happens when I run out of gas?
A: Our system automatically switches your vehicle back to petrol so you barely notice that it happened at all. You do not have to stop your car or do anything at all.
But before that happens, when your gas level is low our system's buzzer will give you sound notification so you know when you will be switched to petrol.
Of course, you also have 5 leds on the switch that show you your gas level.
