| Description | Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of propane and butane gas, is a popular fuel for internal combustion engines. LPG is formed naturally, interspersed with deposits of petroleum and natural gas. Natural gas contains LPG, water vapor, and other impurities that must be removed before it can be transported in pipelines as a salable product. LPG is produced from oil at several of these stages including atmospheric distillation, reforming, cracking, and others. The gasoline engines can be equipped with retrofit devices that enable them to run on LPG as well as gasoline. The use of LPG as a main fuel in diesel engines that uses the liquid diesel as a pilot fuel is also increasing worldwide. Cylindrical LPG tanks are usually manufactured within four different groups, which are classified by their water capacities: 35, 45, 60, and 80 liters.
