Compared to petrol,
LPG has a higher octane content which makes for smoother combustion.
Octane comparisons are:
- Super grade petrol
= 98
- Lead free petrol
= 95
- LPG = over
100
The main advantages
over other fuels are:
- The combustion
of LPG is smoother due to the higher octane content. Unlike other
fuels, no additives are needed to guarantee this higher quality.
- LPG contains
no lead resulting in a much cleaner fuel.
- The result of
LPG reaching the engine in pure gas form is improved combustion.
- There is hardly
any production of carbon monoxide and, in comparison to petrol and
diesel, the exhaust fumes contain less harmful substances.
- Due to the absence
of carbon deposits and acids, engine life is considerably extended.
- Servicing costs
are reduced because the engine oil does does not become diluted.
- The environmental
advantages of LPG for vehicles are indisputable.
