Sažetak
LPG is an international abbreviation for liquefied petroleum gas, i.e. autogas. Today, there are about 5 million vehicles in the world that use autogas and the number is constantly growing. One of the reasons lies in its efficiency which is proven in the 50% lower fuel price and in the lower maintenance price of the automotive parts! From the ecological aspect, autogas is a much, much lesser polluter which does not let out fumes, lead, solid particles and sulphur oxides into the atmosphere, generating at the same time less carbon dioxide and non-degradable hydrocarbons. Because of its characteristics autogas has favourable impact on the engine. The engine durability is increased by about 35% compared to petrol, the engine operates more quietly, the cylinders wear out less, the oil lasts longer in the engine, the durability of the catalyst and the lambda tube is doubled. Complete combustion of the gas-air mixture in the engine cylinders does not result in fuel losses in the exhaust gases. The exhaust gases are cleaner.
