During the autumn and winter months, LPG drivers can be heard complaining about this fuel. There are difficulties with starting, increased gas consumption and the system needs more frequent maintenance.

The gas used to power cars is a mixture of propane and butane, as well as trace amounts of other chemical compounds. It must be free of water, sulfur compounds and polymerizable compounds that cause solid contamination. The proportions of the two main components should change depending on the season - butane should prevail in summer, and propane in winter. However, propane is more expensive than butane, and dishonest distributors are reluctant to change the "summer rate".

In order to avoid installation problems, it is more reliable to purchase LPG at the stations of leading concerns, paying a little more for a good quality product.
