Abstract

Often we use to say fuel prices are hiking, but instead of availability, we always hesitate to make use of alternate fuel cheaper than the conventional fuel. There are many alternate fuels which are having numerous of benefits in addition with cost effectiveness. Using alternate fuel in vehicles is a proven technology and is traditionally in use for past three decades in many developed as well as in developing countries. Internal combustion engines running on liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas are well-proven technologies and work much similar to gasoline-powered spark-ignition engines [1]. This paper focuses on the use of LPG as a fuel, its pose and con, its comparison with conventional fuel i.e. Petrol, and benefits in adopting LPG as a fuel in vehicles.
