How safe are conversions?
When done properly in accordance with LPGA CoP11 gas conversions are very safe. Obviously when carrying any fuel in a vehicle there is risk involved, but in many respects LPG is far safer than petrol. Most modern petrol tanks are made from plastic which in the event of a fire or impact will melt through quickly or break resulting in complete spillage.LPG tanks are steel which makes them much more resistant to impact damage and requires very high fire temperatures to melt. They are also fitted with pressure relief valves to protect against over pressure in the tank in the event of a fire or other over-pressure situations. These valves are designed to release some LPG to lower the tank pressure in a controlled manner.
