DC-Gas

LPG is a clean, high octane, abundant and eco-friendly fuel. LPG is obtained both from natural gas processing through fractionation and from crude oil refining. It is a mixture of petroleum gases like ethane and butane. LPG is a gas at atmospheric pressure and normal temperatures, but it can be liquefied when moderate pressure is applied or when the temperature is sufficiently reduced. This property makes LPG an ideal energy source for a wide range of applications, as it can be easily condensed, packaged, stored and utilized. When the pressure is released, the liquid makes up about 270 times its volume as gas, so large amounts of energy can be stored and transported compactly. Compared to Petrol, LPG produces; Up to 15% less greenhouse gas Up to 50% less particulates Up to 60% less CO Up to 33% less NO Virtually Zero Evaporative emissions of hydrocarbons Up to 80% less air toxics like benzene and 1,3 butadiene

The primary aim of the Auto Fuel Policy is to formulate measures that will help to reduce auto emissions and improve air quality. Improving air quality, where the health costs resulting from air pollution are considerable, is a compelling objective. A 1995 study (Carter Brandon and Kirsten Homman. 1995. The Cost of Inaction: Valuing the Economy-wide Cost of Environmental Degradation in India, presented at “Modelling Global Sustainability” Conference held at the United Nations University, Tokyo.) for instance, estimated the annual health costs resulting from urban air pollution in 36 cities to be in the range of a low of US $ 517 million (about Rs. 2500 crore) and a high of US $2102 million (about Rs. 10,000 crore). Average of the low and high values for the estimated environmental impacts in the above mentioned study ector wise were as follows: Health impacts of water pollution ($5,710 million, or 59% of the total); agricultural output loss due to soil degradation ($1,942 million, or 2...

Why LPG? Air-borne emissions of the principal regulated noxious gases from Auto LPG use are among the lowest of all the automotive fuels commercially available today.According to tests, Auto LPG generates significantly lower carbon monoxide (50% lower), hydrocarbon and nitrous oxide (45%) emissions compared to petrol, and even lower emissions compared to diesel. Safety Only Autogas LPG cylinders or those factory-fitted by your car manufacturer are safe for use in vehicles. These cylinders are specially constructed for use in transportation and face rigorous testing before being fitted into your vehicle. NEVER use domestic LPG cylinders to power your vehicle. It is not only ILLEGAL - being a gross violation of the Auto LPG Control Order - but a POTENTIALLY FATAL HAZARD as well.In India, an estimated 4 million car owners have retro-fitted LPG kits with domestic cylinders in their vehicles. Most of these cylinders are spurious and unsafe for use in vehicles, and lead to the explosions and...

The cost of LPG is half that of Petrol. Yes that's right half ! The benefits for the environment are underpinned by Government initiatives (i.e. reduced taxes and charges). There is also reduced wear and tear on the engine. The points below are just some of the reasons to make the change. You'll be driving in a more environment-friendly way, the gain from the use of Autogas for vehicles are undeniable. Please see section below for details In contrast to diesel, cold starting is no problem, engine performance is similar to petrol. No spilling when filling your tank and little possibility of theft or pilfering. Engine noise is reduced. LPG is better than petrol because it reaches the engine in gas form leading to improved combustion. The ignition of Autogas is smoother as a result of the higher octane content. No additives are required to guarantee high quality. The life of the engine is increased because of the absence of acids and carbon deposits. Autogas contains no lead and i...
