    Yes, all taxis in HK use LPG - diesel was banned after 2004. LPG taxis are on trial in Singapore too, because the current diesel taxis pay six times as much in road tax compared to petrol powered cars.

    Depends on the concentration and wind conditions. If there is a little breeze, the LPG vapors will just disperse into the environment.

    Worst case scenario, the vapors will ignite into a nice translucent blue flame. You could rename your car "Cricket".

    Buses in China use LPG. I'm not sure if Taxis there also run on LPG.

    pwedeng magliyab, but definitely will not explode. Sasabog lang yung tank when punctured - then may open flame.

    nope. Nothing will happen because the concentration of LPG vapors would be too low to ignite.

    joke lng! naka lpg din ako eh and im happy with it. para lng yun sa mga napapraning sa safety ng lpg equiped autos. eto naman kasing mga taxing eto hindi gaano menemaintain hinayaan lng na may leak kaya ayan nangangamoy.

    next stop sana magkaron din ng CNG kit at maraming refuelling stations para makapagupgrade naman hehe

    yup, i made same observation too. mabaho sa loob ng taxi. one thing i observed with LPG is the price difference between dealers. it costs P23/l in manila while in davao, some sell it at P27/l while others as high as 31/l.

    Maybe buses in japan and china for mass transport yes, but to production cars for private use to be précised? i don't think so.
