“…LPG used in China is a mixture of propane and butane, the composition of which is not constant. A properly installed electronically controlled LPG conversion kit should have a self-learning property, capable of adjusting the control parameters to account for variations in propane/butane composition, thus supposedly not necessitating adjustment of the engine during its life time (Karamangil, 2006). Adaptability of LPGV in China, however, was low, necessitating frequent tuning of the engine (Jiang, 2009).…”

“…Hence, engines operating on LPG can run safely at a higher compression ratio than the equivalent engine operating on gasoline. However, the compression ratio in a bifuel vehicle is usually fixed by design (Karamangil, 2006).…”

“…In Turkey, the massive growth of these vehicles started with a low tax policy for LPG as a household fuel which later penetrated the automotive sector [72]. Currently, although the price of LPG in Turkey is 72% and 82% compared to gasoline and diesel respectively, the growth of the vehicles remains high due to the relatively low conversion costs of around $600 for good quality.…”

“…The biggest motivation for using LPG in cars engines is the fuel price, which is in average 40% lower than other fuels. In addition, LPG powered vehicles produce less pollutants from their exhausts in comparison with gasoline-and diesel-fuelled vehicles, which encourages it usage in many countries [1][2][3]. In Poland, cars with LPG installations are often old and in bad condition, which could be the reason of the accidental gas release.…”

“…LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is the third most popular fuel in the world, with approximately 16 million of passenger cars powered using this fuel, representing about 3% of the total market share [1,2]. It is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, mostly consisting of propane (C 3 H 8 ) and butane (C 4 H 10 ).…”
