LGL158 Whitepaper
In the world of Autogas dispensing, pump requirements
will vary widely depending on local regulations, conditions,
and quality of LPG mixtures. When selecting a pump for
Autogas applications, special consideration must be given to
the specification standards (in India this would be Indian
Standard Specification For Petroleum Gas - IS 4576 -1978)
and the circumstances surrounding a particular site. These
considerations must include the type of tank being used
(underground or above ground tanks), which may be based
on population density, aesthetics, space, and safety concerns;
the volume of vehicle activity in a given period of time;
continuous duty (durability) requirements; and geographic
climates relative to mixtures of propane/butane that can
affect differential pressures, all of which can impact flow and
pressure capability of various pump types. Relative to LPG
Autogas applications, there are four (4) pump technologies
most commonly specified today.
