Autogas vs benzin

Conversion kits are available for many petrol engines, enabling them to use both fuels. However, the ratio between propane and butane may vary depending on the climate, application, or regional regulations.

  • Propane has a lower boiling point and is better for colder climates.
  • Butane offers higher energy content per volume but performs poorly in low temperatures.

Auto gas generally contains a higher proportion of propane to ensure better vaporization in colder environments, improving engine performance.

Regional Naming Confusion

In many parts of the world, “LPG” is the term used for both general liquefied gas and vehicle fuel.

At Pitmon Oil & Gas, we specialize in customized propane solutions tailored to your needs. These include:

  • EN 589 in Europe for automotive LPG fuel standards.
  • Various ASTM standards in the United States for propane purity and handling.
  • Local regulations for emission levels and conversion certification.

For general LPG use, standards focus on purity levels, cylinder safety, and combustion efficiency.

We also work with you to set up on-site filling stations, helping you save additional time and money. The driver said, almost offhand, “This car runs on LPG fuel—in winter we blend in more propane, so cold starts aren’t bad.”
That one sentence stuck with me.

With over 30 years of experience providing reliable commercial fuel services, including customized propane autogas delivery and vehicle conversions, we’re here to break down the differences between propane autogas and gasoline to make your decision easier.

Cleaner combustion inside the engine means fewer maintenance needs—a significant bonus for businesses managing large fleets. It liquefies at relatively low pressure, making transport and storage efficient. What are the top household safety habits with LPG fuel?
Close valves after use, ventilate low if you suspect a leak, avoid T-splitters, keep a mid-line shut-off, and book annual inspections.

We’re ready to help you make the switch and take full advantage of everything that propane has to offer.
