2. In Europe LPG can be called GPL, Autogas, Flusigas, Propane, Propan. Most small filling station has attendants that can be disappointed if you start filling yourself.

3. When travelling abroad always make sure you take your LPG filler adaptor. As it is very annoying to travel through France without being able to run on gas. Arun Autogas, sell the "Dish" type for France / Italy / Czech Rep and Poland. The "Acme inch and three quarters" threaded adaptor for Belgium and Germany. And even the bayonet adaptor for our European visitors

4. A fantastic Investment financially and environmentally and can be ruined by deciding who installs the system to your vehicle on cost alone. Saving a few pounds in the beging can cost you dearly later. The Autogas conversion cannot been seen in a similar way as to buying a computer or tin of baked beans.

5. The equipment being used is only as good as the installer. Always ask would else fits the same system. If there aren't quite a few you have to ask your self why ? And just as importantly who else can service it. Systems need to be adjusted every 20000 miles and more frequently have the inline filter elements changed. Insurance companies prefer approved installations, look for the logo

6. Fit the biggest tank, another few litres always comes in helpful. Ensure that the installer is going to fit the biggest they can get and not just what they have in stock at the right price.

7. Do you really want to have the filler colour matched. It will chip off and you could loss it. There are more important things to consider. Motor manufacturers don't paint their filler lids, the body work flaps yes but not the cap - have a look around the Citreon Berlingo is an example

8. All LPG conversions enables petrol vehicles to run on either LPG or Petrol controlled by the driver from inside the vehicle.

9. Its cheaper to run a gas gussler than a diesel, cost savings of about 30% over a diesel engine.

10. Not all LPG converted vehicles avoid the Congestion charge. ONLY certain vehicles get Exemption from the London congestion charge Zone. Frequent visitors can save a staggering £2080 each year. And a dramatic reduction in emissions
