Volvo Bi-Fuel LPG

LPG Tanks Require Less Space

LPG becomes liquid at low pressure. LPG therefore requires less tank volume than CNG (for the same
driving distance). In the LPG version, the new Volvo models have only one large gas tank. The CNG
versions have one large and two small tanks. It takes between two and four minutes to refuel a gas car
(applies to both LPG and CNG).

The type of nozzle for refueling LPG can vary from country to country. Two adapters for refuelling
accompany every LPG car, to make things easier when travelling abroad.
