LPG engines

  • Not happy with Conventional diesel economy?
  • Want to do your bit to help save the earth?

LPG is another source of fuel that is rapidly growing on the UK roads. It stands for Liquid Petroleum Gas and generally costs around half the price of petrol or diesel. Nowadays any car can be converted to run on LPG, it’s a lot more common to have a hybrid system in place so you run your ride on usual petrol/diesel and also have an LPG canister to run on for longer journeys.

When it comes to performance on LPG you can forget it, It doesn’t happen. Even if you ride runs on petrol normally the chances are the LPG won’t do the performance any favours. The thing to remember here is that LPG is still very new and like the diesel technology it will improve with age.
