There are currently over 1200 LPG filling stations providing effective coverage throughout the country and stations continue to be opened at the astonishing rate around one every day of the week, guaranteeing that the AutoGas user will be able to fill their vehicle anywhere in the country. This represents an enormous investment by the industry which further boosts confidence in LPG Gas in both the consumer and fleet markets.
More than 8 million drivers worldwide now use LP Gas and in the UK numbers are increasing as more motorists learn of the benefits. In the UK, from a small start of 3,500 at the end 199 some 65,000 vehicles were on the roads by the end of 2001, and it is expected at the current rate of conversions, that 250,000 vehicles will have been converted to run on LP Gas by 2005.
A warning to the consumer was highlighted recently, following Inspections undertaken by Trading Standards Offices in various parts of the country. These investigations have highlighted a large number of Substandard conversions by companies who are NOT LPGA Approved and
consumers can avoid these problems by contacting the L.P.G.Association to obtain details of the LPGA Approved Installers in their area on www.lpga.co.uk.
When a vehicle has been modified to run on LPG the owner must notify his / her insurance company, otherwise the cover will be invalidated. The result of a recent survey of Motor Insurance Companies has given a massive endorsement to the LPGA Approved installers scheme. 16 companies, who cover the majority of the market, would not charge an additional premium if an LPGA Approved installer undertook the conversion of a vehicle to run on LPG.
As a further warning to consumers considering converting their vehicles to LPG, 15 companies said that they would NOT INSURE THE VEHICLE AT ALL, if the conversion was not carried out by an LPGA Approved installer.< Back
