LPG powered vehicles have their own peculiar nasty stink. Worse than
petrol.
Unless they have a cat.


Merton council (close to here) have all their municipal vehicles LPG
powered. Dustcarts, etc. Very noticeable by the lack of engine noise and
exhaust smell, compared to the more usual diesel.

Unusual to have larger vehicles on LPG. Are you sure it's not CNG?
