Am I eligible for the Government's $1750 rebate?
If your vehicle is registered in your name and you have not yet claimed, you are eligible to claim the government rebate.
The rebate is easy and fast to claim. All you need to do is take the filled out form from your installer to medicare for lodgment. You will usually receive your cheque within a week.
Until the 1st of July 2010 , the government pays $1750 towards halving your fuel bill, there really is
no better time to install. ( rebate drops to $1500 afterwards )

How much will it cost to get an LPG system installed on my vehicle?
The system suitable for your vehicle may change depending on your model type.
ALPGW have three system levels available, definitely worth nothing when comparing quotes
- Traditional venturi type system - This system is our budget priced system and is suitable for older vehicles (Pre 2003 year model)
- Sequential Vapour Injection System - This system is suitable for vehicles newer than 2003. This gives a much lower power loss and better fuel economy than our budget system.
- JTG Liquid Injection - This system is our premium LPG system. It can be used for current year model vehicles and typically gains power over petrol systems. It also gives about 10% better economy than Vapour Injection.

Liquid , Vapour , Venturi , what is the difference?
Unfortunately, this is an area that is very often overlooked when choosing an LPG system for your vehicle.
There are currently 4 main types of LPG equipments available to consumers.
1/ the "venturi" type
2/ the "air valve" type
3/ the "vapour injection" type
4/ the "liquid injection" type
These 4 types of systes have differences in price , performance and fuel consumption figures between them.
Venturi and air valve systems have been around since the inception of LPG conversions , and are generally mostly found on older type vehicles.
Without a doubt , the main drawback with these 2 types of systems is the obstruction to the air flow of the vehicle's engine.
By placing an LPG component over the air intake ( or throttle body ) , a certain amount of airflow is taken away from the engine and thus there is a loss of power and volumetric efficiency.
It was a well known fact that people would trade off performance for economy when swiching to LPG - not any more.
Vapour and liquid systems do not have this obstruction , and can as such make the most use of the advanced intake manifold designs , this is just 1 of the reasons that these type of LPG conversions generally equal or better the power of the vehicle whilst running on petrol , but also have superior economy compared to the earlier systems.
Driving a vehicle on vapour or liquid LPG injction it is almost impossible to detect which fuel is used , usually, the general feel is that the car drives "smoother".
Due to better fuel delivery , Vapour and Liquid LPG injection systems offer better combustion properties , and as such are able to meet the most stringent emissions testing.
And best of all , no more backfires !
When can we purchase JTG Liquid injection for my car?
ALPGW is the first company to offer JTG Liquid injection , this system has been on the market in Australia for almost 2 years and has been tried and tested with fantastic results.

Will installing LPG on my vehicle void new car warranty?
Installing LPG on your vehicle will not void your new car warranty even though some dealers would like you to think so.
Warranty will only not be covered if the fault can be directly related to the LPG installation.
This has never happened with any of our product, furthermore ALPGW offer a 3 year 100,000 Km warranty on their products.
If you however are still worried, you can purchase engine warranty insurance for as little as $200. This can be arranged through your installer.
