Travel to Europe in an LPG Car

Vacationing in Europe during the summer is a popular trip for many people and their families. However, if you have a LPG car there are some helpful hints and tips that you should know about.

First of all, LPG vehicles are not allowed in the Channel Tunnel. This is not a security issue; LPG cars have been shown to be safe to travel in the tunnel through independent testing. However, when the tunnel was built, there were not enough LPG vehicles on Britain’s roads to consider safety testing profitable. Ferries allow LPG vehicles to cross the canal. Terms and conditions apply, including turning off the LPG tank while on board and currently your LPGA Approved Certificate when boarding. Comply with these two requests and you will be able to cross the channel to France without problems.
