Just like petrol, autogas vapour can ignite, but unlike petrol autogas is stored in a vehicle in a strong steel tank and has a number of safety valves.

Independent tests by the TNO in Holland concluded that LPG vehicles were safer in an accident than petrol. In fire service tests in the UK it was demonstrated that in the event of a serious fire occupants in a vehicle have three times longer to evacuate with LPG than petrol.

Most petrol engines can be converted by the addition of a second fuel system - LPG. This means that the vehicle will continue to run on petrol (for instance if you run out of LPG) and the LPG tank can be fitted in the spare wheel well or in some cases below the vehicle so you do not lose any boot space.
