Safety of LPG
LPG has been used as a motor fuel for many years in the US, Japan, Europe and over 30 years in Australia. It has proved to be at least as safe as petrol, although naturally, both require proper handling and servicing.
Approved equipment must be installed by qualified converters and refueling performed at properly equipped filling stations. The rigidity of the LPG tanks makes them less susceptible than petrol tanks to accidental damage. Modern vehicle tanks have automotive shut-off valves to prevent filling over 80%.
The use of LPG is strictly controlled by State and Federal Government regulations
Statistics prove that gas powered cars are just as safe, if not safer, than their petrol powered equivalents - even in severe collisions.

The Safety Record
Autogas has an excellent safety record throughout the world, both in terms of its storage, transportation and use. Extensive safety tests have been undertaken with respect to its use and the conclusions reached are that it is substantially safer than petrol due to its more robust fuel tank being more resistant to impact damage.
