LPG


We sell Liquid Petroleum Gas (also known as Autogas).

LPG is the generic name for commercial propane gas, produced by the oil and gas industries as a byproduct of petrol. The same gas is often used in rural areas for cooking and heating.

Due to staff shortage, from 17th April 2023 we will only be open on Monday & Friday, 9am-5pm. We can only accept cash payments at this time.

To find out more about LPG and its uses, take a look at Wikipedia.
