Presently
there are two types of gaseous fuel being used to power
vehicles
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and
CNG
(Compressed Natural Gas).
With
environmental issues now becoming the forefront of every
day life, using alternatives fuels to petrol and diesel
are rapidly becoming a popular choice. Why? Because
these alternative fuels - LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas)
and CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) more than just save
you money on vehicle running costs. The environment
can be improved too!

The graphs show comparisons
between the harmful pollutants emitted after combustion
of 3 commonly used road fuels - petrol, diesel and LPG.
It is apparent that LPG clearly reduces the emissions
of harmful pollutants.
Carbon monoxide released into the atmosphere is one
of the main causes of global warming, research shows
that vehicles running on LPG release up to 30-35% less
carbon monoxide
The government has become more aware of the positive
results of using LPG, especially when it comes to reducing
the pollution in major cities
