LPG – The Fuel of the Future |
 |
Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) is now giving you the opportunity to cut your
fuel costs in half and is ideally suitable for the larger V8 powered Rover
engines.
|
|
It
is possible to enjoy the pleasure of having a smooth, quiet running Rover
V8 engine instead of the noise of a diesel for the same cost. LPG is becoming
more widely available, with most major fuel companies planning to have
filling sites soon.
|
|
Pressurised
LPG fuel tanks are stronger and will survive greater impacts than diesel
or petrol tanks. In an accident an LPG tank is built to withstand 10 times
the damage a plastic or steel petrol tank could.
|
|
All
conversions have a duel fuel operation which enables you to switch over
from LPG to petrol at any time. The conversion costs from £1000 plus VAT,
with up to 400 miles of range between refueling depending on tank size.
|
|
The
fuel cost is approximately 35-39 pence per litre; with the probability
that petrol and diesel costs are to continue to escalate in the future
this will make the option of using LPG even more attractive.
|
|
Another
major consideration is that LPG is by far the cleanest running fuel available,
giving much lower emissions than petrol or diesel. This results in a cleaner
environment and longer lasting engines.
|
|
Providing
the engine of your vehicle is in good condition, the conversion will take
between one and three days to complete depending on the number of tanks
fitted.
|
Comparison of running costs per 12000 miles |
Unleaded @ 86p per ltr. 16mpg = 2928.00
Diesel @ 84p per ltr. 28mpg = 1632.00
LPG @ 39p per ltr. 14mpg = 1512.00
|
|
These
figures are based on a 4.0ltr Range Rover, before and after conversion,
and a 200tdi Discovery, both used daily by ourselves.
|
|
The
economic benefits are clearly shown and with conversion costs from £800
+ VAT it is possible to recover the cost of conversion within 12 months.
