2005 marks the start of the most important enterprise we shall ever conduct...And it won't make us a penny. To reflect growing Global concerns about Climate Change we now offer our current and future Clients a 'Carbon Neutral' Service. Our cars are now "Dual-Fuel"......

What is Dual-Fuel Transport?

  • A vehicle that runs on BOTH Petrol and LPG is termed 'dual-fuel'. It starts on Petrol until warm then automatically switches to LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas)
  • With Mileage of about 15,000 per year the reduction in annual Fuel Costs are £1,240 due to the lower Tax on LPG
  • Annual CO2 savings are AT LEAST 2.34 Tonnes Per Year (10 to 20%) & Hydrocarbon (soot) emission savings are 40%
  • NOx emission savings are 80% & Carbon Monoxide emission savings are 35%
  • Installation Costs (+tax) were £2,200. Payback period is 1 year & 11 months
  • LPG is produced in Europe so its use reduces vulnerability to World events
  • Some Cars qualify for a grant in the UK (as well as exemption from Congestion charging) plus you also get a reduction in your annual Car Tax.

Engine Before

Engine After

LPG_Eng_Before9026.JPG (171207 bytes)Not all Cars have as much space under the bonnet as this small car. Hence, if you are considering a dual-fuel installation make sure that you have a bit of space up front. Having said this, the LPG equipment takes up very little space. Most, if not all cars that currently use Petrol can be converted. Even the most sophisticated of luxury cars. It will not increase your Insurance costs. It will not invalidate your Warranty so you can still get your car maintained at your local dealership. LPG_Eng_After0012.JPG (172717 bytes)Here we see the same part of the engine bay after installation of the PRINS LPG equipment. At the top of the picture are the Injectors to the engine. During operation the Car will switch over automatically to LPG from Petrol when it is warm. This doesn't take long. There is no difference in performance - just half price motoring and the comforting thought that you are improving your country's balance of payments whilst pumping out 2.34 tonnes less CO2 per year.

Boot Before

Boot After

LPG_Rear_Before9013.JPG (138687 bytes)Autogas requires a pressurised cylinder to hold a supply of LPG in addition to your normal petrol tank. Here we see the boot before installation of the tank. There is space for a tank holding 50l (approx 250 miles range). LPG_Rear_After0002.JPG (144926 bytes) Cars with space for a spare wheel can utilise that space. THIS car uses run flat tyres so has no spare. However there is still room for the tank shown. We can still get an umbrella & a week's worth of luggage or an entire weekly shop in here! It's perfectly safe too.

Dashboard Before

Dashboard After

LPG_Dash_Before9037.JPG (152834 bytes)Maybe you are wondering how you control all of this? In truth you don't. The system looks after itself. However, there is a small addition to your dashboard. Just choose where you want the gauge. This is the only visible change in the cabin. LPG_Dash_After0018.JPG (146949 bytes)This small combined indicator and switch shows how full the gas tank is and allows you to switch over to petrol manually. However, this is never necessary. There is enough LPG in the tank for 250 miles of range. More than enough to get you from one LPG seller to the next...

More Information

  • Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of Propane and Butane. When used as a Vehicle Fuel it is often referred to as "Autogas". The simple chemical make up of the gases ensures that they are clean burning.
  • LPG is produced as a by-product in both the extraction and refining stages of oil production. In the past it has been considered waste and flared off. It is particularly abundant in the North Sea's 'wet' crude oil.
  • Consequently the UK is Europe's largest producer, producing 6.4 million tonnes in 2001. Of this over 3 million tonnes were exported. Only 50 thousand tonnes (7.75%) were used as Autogas. The rest was used for domestic or agricultural heating or in chemical or refinery operations.
