What is "liquefied petroleum gas"?
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a type of fuel made from gases like propane and butane that are stored in liquid form under pressure. It is used in some vehicles as an alternative to gasoline or diesel because it burns more cleanly and produces fewer harmful gases. LPG is also used for heating, cooking, and some industrial purposes. Vehicles that use LPG have special fuel tanks and require refueling at specific stations that provide this type of gas.
