Autogas is a safe, proven alternative fuel
Thousands of school buses and taxicabs across the U.S. are already safely fueled by autogas, partly because autogas is intrinsically safer than many other fuels.
Autogas Tanks
- Alliance AutoGas tanks are 20 times more puncture resistant and can withstand 4 times the pressure when compared to conventional gasoline vehicle fuel tanks
- The lower pressure required for storage makes it safer to maintain than CNG
- Autogas vehicle tanks are constructed from carbon steel under code developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
- Autogas vehicle tanks are tested to 4 times their standard operating pressure
- Properly installed autogas vehicle fuel tanks can actually add to the structural integrity of a vehicle
Additional Safety Features
- It has a lower flammability range than conventional gasoline, decreasing probability of accidental combustion
- The on-site autogas fueling station has a lock-off valve that automatically shuts off the flow of propane autogas at the tank if any pressure drop is detected anywhere throughout the system
Nontoxic
- Unlike gasoline, diesel, methanol and ethanol, autogas is nontoxic, nonpoisonous and is insoluble in water
- Should a rare accidental release of autogas occur, autogas would dissipate into the atmosphere with no harmful contaminants released into the air, soil or water
