Is LPG safe?
Yes. The use of LPG in cars has an excellent safety record and, owing to the strength of the fuel tank, it is just as safe as diesel and safer than petrol. However, it is vitally important to use an approved converter to ensure that your car is converted safely and using the correct equipment.


But doesn't the LPG tank take up lots of space in my boot?
Not necessarily. A new type of LPG tank is now available, which can be fitted out of sight in the spare wheel well. You can then either put the spare wheel in the boot, or alternatively, take it out of the car altogether and carry a get you home' puncture repair aerosol can instead. New bi-fuel' vehicles accommodate petrol and LPG tanks with no, or very little, loss of boot space.


If I convert my vehicle to LPG, will it affect the performance or fuel economy?
You probably won't notice any change in performance. Your vehicle is likely to cover 10-15 per cent fewer miles per litre of LPG compared with petrol (around 40 per cent fewer compared with diesel). But LPG is so much cheaper it's worth it - and there are now refuelling stations all around the UK.


Where can I refuel with LPG?
There are lots of LPG refuelling sites in Yorkshire and around 1000 in the UK, and this figure is rising at a rate of one every working day. To find your nearest site, have a look at the map, which shows all the LPG sites in Yorkshire. If you're travelling long distance, there are LPG refuelling sites right around the UK's motorway network. For a full list of all refuelling sites, follow the PowerShift link from: www.transportaction.org.uk


Where can I get my vehicle converted?
We recommend getting your vehicle converted by a PowerShift-approved conversion company. By using an approved converter, you'll know that the conversion will be done correctly to the highest possible standards and will be fully guaranteed. Grants are only available for conversions carried out by approved companies (but not all companies will be qualified to convert all approved vehicle models). A full list of approved vehicle suppliers and converters and grant-eligible vehicles is listed on the TransportAction website.
