What is autogas?
Autogas is a great alternative fuel for your vehicle. It’s based on our very popular liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),
but we call it autogas when it’s used as an automotive fuel whether for cars, commercial fleets, forklift trucks, motor lawnmowers, buses or boats.
There are lots of reasons to choose autogas instead of traditional automotive fuels. For a start, it can save you real money — up to 50% — at the pumps. It’s also kinder to the environment, and may help to prolong your car’s engine life.
You can access autogas easily at retail forecourts or your own fleet bunkering site.
Covert your car with autogas
Cut your fuel costs by as much as 50% with a quick,
easy and convenient conversion.
Converting your car to autogas (LPG) is a straightforward process. It involves installing a secondary fuel system with a separate tank and gauge for autogas. There is no requirement for a new or replacement engine. Your car becomes a dual-fuel vehicle, allowing you to switch between the two systems easily.
Many specialist conversion companies around Ireland will assess your vehicle, advise you on cost and timeframe, and may offer extras such as a complimentary replacement car or a free autogas (LPG) fill. A popular way to store autogas is by fitting a doughnut tank into the spare wheel well, saving space in your boot.
Commonly asked questions about "Autogas LPG"
A robust and safe separate secondary fuel tank will be installed neatly in your car, usually around the wheel well, along with a second set of fuel injectors, which feeds the autogas directly to the engine. An electronic link to the engine allows the fuel delivery to be monitored constantly for maximum performance and economy.
A new and discreet status unit will be installed on your dashboard, allowing you to see fuel status, and to switch between systems, although autogas (LPG) will be the default fuel system. A new filling point will also be added to the exterior of the car.
Autogas (LPG) is a clean, safe fuel, and a conversion should always include the standard safety measures, such as AFL (automatic safety limiter), which limits the fill, allowing the gas to expand as it should.
That depends on the conversion company. The good news is that the savings you can expect on fuel will more than cover your initial outlay on conversion.
The upside to having a dual-fuel car is that you can easily switch to using petrol if the need arises. There are almost 100 filling stations around Ireland and most of them provide both petrol and autogas. Use our filling station map below to find a station near you.
Maybe. To get a bit technical, the standard filling connection in the Republic of Ireland is the acme connector (the outside diameter of the one used is 1.75" / 45mm) while it’s usually a bayonet connection within Northern Ireland. You might need an adapter to make it possible to refuel where you live or travel to regularly.
Some outlets already have adapters, particularly those near ferry terminals, but it would be better if you had one in advance of travelling. Over the next few years, this issue is expected to be resolved with the adoption of a standard European connector system.
