LPG is a very safe fuel and has an excellent safety record throughout the world, both in terms of storage, transportation and use. LPG systems fitted by approved Installers are guaranteed to be safer than their petrol counterparts.
Thanks to a range of additional safety features, dual-fuel vehicles are just as safe as ordinary petrol or diesel models. All dual-fuel gas tanks meet international safety standards and the integrity of the LPG system has been proven by extensive testing. An automatic isolator valve shuts off the gas supply whenever the ignition is switched off or in the event on an accident, while an excess flow valve on the LPG tank shuts off the gas if a hose or pipework is severed or disconnected. Even if there should be a vehicle fire, the gas is vented in a controlled manner through pressure relief valves.
