Travelling Abroad

LPG is widely used as a vehicle fuel in continental Europe. Holland, Italy and France have particularly well developed infrastructures. Spain, which in the past only permitted LPG to be used in taxis and public vehicles have now permitted public fuelling sites to be opened and a link to a Spanish site can be found in the LPG Refuelling Site list elsewhere on this website.

It is recommended that you take your log book, insurance certificate and the conversion certificate (issued by the LPGA Approved Installer) as part of your documentation when going abroad with a converted vehicle.

There are no restrictions on LPG fuelled vehicles using ferries to Europe, with the exception of Speedferries who require the conversion to be either by the vehicle manufacturer or proof supplied by way of an LPGA “LPG Conversion Certificate”.

Currently, LPG vehicles are not permitted in the Channel Tunnel. LPG has passed all the operator’s safety risk assessments and UKLPG continues to lobby the operators to amend their procedures to allow LPG vehicles through.
