Converting your car to run on Autogas can take up to three days to complete.

Conversion typically costs around £1,200, but this figure will vary depending on the type of conversion being carried out and the number of cylinders in your engine. The cost can be recouped due to running costs being lower than those for petrol vehicles.

Converting a car is, by definition, a modification. We advise you to contact your insurance company as part of your investigation into the conversion process. Your insurance company may also want to see your UKLPG certificate and confirm your vehicle has been placed on the UKLPG Vehicle Register.

Autogas-manufactured vehicles are covered by the manufacturer's full warranty. After-market conversions generally leave the vehicle warranty intact unless a defect has been caused as a result of converting the vehicle to Autogas. An extra warranty can usually be purchased to cover aspects not covered by the manufacturer's warranty when a vehicle is converted in the after-market.

The process of switching your vehicle back to petrol from Autogas is as straightforward as it is to convert it in the first place. Simply contact your local UKLPG Approved Autogas Installer.
