benzaWhat LPG means
LPG is liquefied petroleum gas, commonly a propane-butane blend. It is stored predominantly as a liquid under pressure in a suitable vehicle tank. The blend may vary by product and season.
Only use LPG dispensers compatible with your vehicle’s approved fuel system. The term “autogas” alone does not establish compatibility.
What CNG means
CNG is compressed natural gas, mainly methane. It is stored as a gas in specialized cylinders at substantially higher pressure than LPG. Its filling fittings and fuel system are different.
You cannot substitute CNG for LPG in the same tank or vice versa. Equipment, connections and pressure systems are not interchangeable.
Finding the correct station
Use an explicit LPG or CNG filter when a station’s fuel type is known. If the record says only “Gas”, treat it as unresolved, not as proof that either type is available.
Call or check with the specific station before making a detour: confirm stock, filling connection and opening hours. A mapped location alone cannot confirm access to the entrance.
Compare actual running costs
Compare the amount of the relevant fuel required for 100 km, not just a price per unit. LPG is often compared in litres per 100 km, while CNG may be sold in other units. Do not mix these units without conversion.
Account for inspection and servicing of approved gas equipment. Do not alter high-pressure systems yourself.
