Good post, should be made compulsive reading for any one thinking about converting to LPG as a car fuel....My knowledge of this issue is based upon personal experience rather than internet research, or "googling"! The company I work for buys large quantities of bulk propane/butane and distributes it on a retail basis and trust me the customers never fail to let you know if there is a variation in the product. A number of years ago there was an issue with a major refiner supplying propane that was contaminated with what appeared to be microscopic traces of grease/tar. This accumulated in the LPG systems in customers vehicles creating some real issues. This wasn't exclusive to our company but was a nationwide problem and a lot of people on the LPG forums felt that they should seek recompense. I counselled that you would need very very deep pockets to try and take action against a huge multinational oil company, you would forever be shelling out.
