Shell Autogas Properties

Shell does its utmost to ensure the highest quality and most reliable autogas for customers. We have rigorous product specifications and testing procedures for our product and back the quality of our autogas.

Automotive LPG, automix or autogas refers to the LPG used for automotive applications. Automotive LPG consists of a mix of propane and butane, whereas domestic, industrial and commercial LPG is predominantly propane.

Generally, the autogas sold by Shell is a mixture of propane (C3 or 3 carbon atoms) and butane (C4 or 4 carbon atoms).

Depending on the source of the auto LPG and how it has been produced, other components may also be present. To ensure that the auto LPG you receive is of a consistent high quality, detailed specifications are laid down. Every batch of auto LPG is rigorously tested to ensure that it always meets the appropriate specification.

For safety information about auto LPG see our Material Safety Data Sheets below.

People who frequently work with, or around, auto LPG need to be aware of basic occupational health and safety information. Shell makes sure that appropriate detail is available for all customers.

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is the standard format for provision of this information. The MSDS identifies the chemical, lists physical data and other properties, nominates the effects it can have on your health and describes how to safely handle the product.

Under Dangerous Goods Regulations (2000) and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (1985), Material Safety Data Sheets must be reviewed and reissued every five years.
