Is LPG safe?
YES. LPG has been used safely in Australia for many decades. The Australian standards for LPG equipment, appliances and their installation and for storage and handling are among the world’s best. Every aspect of the LPG industry is covered by a National Code or Standard and also by similar or additional State Regulations.

How Safe are LPG Engine Systems?
The LPG system in today's modern vehicle is designed to be safe: safe in use, safe to repair and safe in a vehicle accident. It includes:

• A 3mm welded steel pressure cylinder which is stress-tested to many times its normal operating pressure prior to being installed;
• Two electronically controlled shut-off solenoids (on cylinder and under bonnet) which stop the flow of gas to the engine if the engine stops for any reason;
• Pressure relief valves for the tank and the system, to prevent any pressure build up that may damage the system, or be hazardous;
• Double back-check valves to ensure gas tight filling;
• Sealed compartments and venting around valves and pipe-work to ensure no LPG enters the interior of the vehicle;
• Approved components to ensure long service life; and
• The support of trained personnel who comply with rigorous Australian Standards for manufacture and installation of the system, in new cars at the production line, or vehicles retrofitted after purchase

Is an Auto gas system more prone to mechanical failure and unreliability?
No. On the contrary, with regular servicing and maintenance, an LPG conversion will out-perform a petrol/diesel system due to the lubricating factors in LPG.
