We like to allow 2 days for most conversions. At PR Automotive, we don’t want to rush our LPG gas conversion jobs and we make sure that everything is very neat under the bonnet. We also do very thorough checks on the installation and operation of your LPG gas system at the end of the job.

If you choose a dual fuel LPG conversion, you can drive your car much longer distances without refuelling. Many drivers of dual fuel cars notice that they can drive almost twice as many kilometres because they have two full fuel tanks instead of just one.

At PR Automotive, we do thorough safety checks as a part of our installation process and our service process.
The systems that we fit all have safety features built in. For instance, the Injected systems will shut down and switch over to petrol when there is a problem detected with the gas system, such as a small leak.

Approximate comparison of LPG gas to petrol
- 10-15% lower Greenhose gas emissions (CO2) for LPG gas

This depends on what type of system you install in your vehicle.
For Air Valve systems, you may lose some economy, but your vehicle will not experience any significant loss of power.
Keep in mind, that this slight increase in fuel consumption will be easily offset by the cheaper price of LPG gas to petrol.
With a Vapour Injection system, there will be no difference in power or performance.
With a Liquid Injection system, you will actually gain significant power from your vehicle as compared with petrol.
How often do I need gas services done after my car has been converted? The 1st gas service is done at 1000 kms and after that we recommend that they are done every 20,000 kms or at 12 months.

We recommend that you start your vehicle on petrol in the morning to maintain lubrication in the engine. The injection systems do this automatically.
