The LPG Autogas system in today’s modern vehicle is designed to be safe: safe in use, safe to repair and even safe in a vehicle accident.
The Autogas system has a number of important safety features including:

• 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.
