Q1: How safe is LPG & what happens if an LPG vehicle is involved in an accident?

A: LPG is reknowned for its excellent safety record. LPG is also used in many household appliances such as patio heaters and cigarette lighters.

All LPG tanks are rigourously tested & are all considerably stronger than conventional fuel tanks; it's recognised as safer than petrol because an LPG tank can survive far greater impact .

The UK has stringent safety standards for LPG vehicles and by selecting a reputable equipment manufacturer and/or converter approved by the LPGA you are assured peace of mind.

The tank and gas pipes are fitted with numerous safety devices. The gas flow will automatically stop if the pipes are damaged or the engine is not running. If the vehicle catches fire, the gas tank pressure is controlled via cylinder venting, which will prevent the tank from rupturing and causing further damage
