FAQs

Autogas, also known as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), is a fuel source used to power vehicles. It is a mixture of propane and butane, which are gaseous hydrocarbons that can be liquefied under pressure.

It is a clean-burning fuel that produces lower emissions and is also more cost-effective than petrol or diesel fuel, making it an attractive option for companies and/or drivers who want to save money on fuel costs.

To use autogas as a fuel source, vehicles must be equipped with a specialised fuel system that can store and regulate the flow of the fuel. Some vehicles in European and Eastern countries come from the factory with this technology, while others can be converted.

Easyway has partnered with international leading players in the alternative fuel industry that specialise in developing and manufacturing LPG and CNG (compressed natural gas) conversion systems for vehicles.

Our partners’ autogas systems are known for their quality, reliability, and performance. They offer a range of systems that are designed to be compatible with different types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses.

Our Autogas partners have a strong reputation in the motor industry, and their products are used by fleet and private vehicle owners worldwide. In addition, they have won several awards for their products, including the Clean Fleet Award and the Innovation Award for Sustainable Mobility.

Overall, our autogas partners have a positive reputation in the alternative fuel industry, and their products are recognised for their quality and performance. Our partners continue to invest in research and development to improve their products and expand their offerings, reflecting their commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Overall, Easyway’s autogas system offers several benefits, including cost savings, environmental benefits, good performance, ease of use, and versatility. These benefits make the system an attractive option for drivers and fleets looking to reduce their fuel costs and environmental impact.

  1. Various components are installed in the car and under the hood.
  2. The LPG tank is usually installed at the location of the spare wheel, so no loss of luggage space.
  3. An ECU, reducer, fuel filters, and injectors are installed under the bonnet.
  4. The LPG filling point is usually placed behind the flap next to the fuel connection.
  5. A strategically placed switch shows you how full your LPG tank is and with which you can switch manually between driving on LPG or regular fuel, if desired.

The installation time can vary depending on several factors, including the vehicle make and model, and the specific components of the system. However, as a general guideline, a typical installation can take anywhere from one to two days.

During the installation process, the certified technician will typically start by assessing the vehicle to determine the optimal location for the LPG tank, as well as the routing of the fuel lines and the other components of the system. The technician will then install the LPG tank, fuel lines, and other system components, and connect them to the engine and the vehicle’s fuel system.

After the physical installation is complete, the technician will test the system to ensure that it is functioning properly and make any necessary adjustments.

The safety of Easyway’s autogas system is a top priority for the company, which is why Easyway has partnered with industry leaders whose systems are designed and tested to meet stringent safety standards. Here are some of the notable safety features:

  1. Pressure relief valves: The system is equipped with pressure relief valves that are designed to release excess pressure if it builds up in the system. This helps to prevent overpressure and the risk of explosion.
  2. Leak detection system: The system has a leak detection system that can detect any leaks in the system and shut it down to prevent the risk of fire or explosion.
  3. Safety shut-off valve: The system has a safety shut-off valve that shuts off the flow of LPG in the event of an accident or if the engine stalls. This helps to prevent the risk of fire or explosion.
  4. Crash-tested tanks: The LPG tanks are crash-tested to ensure their durability and safety in the event of an accident.
  5. Installation by certified professionals: The system is installed by certified professionals who have undergone training and certification programmes to ensure that the installation is done correctly and safely.

Overall, Easyway’s system has several safety features and is designed and tested to meet stringent safety standards. The company’s commitment to safety is reflected in its focus on training and certification for installers and the use of high-quality, crash-tested components. However, as with any vehicle, it’s important to follow proper maintenance and safety procedures to ensure the safe operation of the system.

The Easyway system requires regular servicing and maintenance to ensure its continued safe and efficient operation. The exact service intervals may vary depending on the specific components and system configuration, as well as the manufacturer’s recommendations and the operating conditions of the vehicle.

However, as a general guideline, here are some of the typical service intervals and maintenance requirements for the system:

  1. Annual inspection: The system should be inspected by a certified technician at least once a year. The technician will check the system for any leaks, wear and tear, and other issues that may affect its performance.
  2. Filter replacement: The system’s filters, including the LPG filter and the vapouriser filter, may need to be replaced periodically, typically every 16,000 to 24,000 kilometres.
  3. Tank inspection: The LPG tank should be inspected every three to five years or according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. The inspection will check the tank’s condition, including its corrosion resistance, and ensure that it is safe and compliant with applicable regulations.
  4. System calibration: The system may need to be calibrated periodically to ensure that it is operating at peak performance. The calibration process involves adjusting the system’s settings to ensure that it is optimised for the vehicle and driving conditions.
