Vehicle standards for gas conversions

All modifications to a vehicle must have specific approval from Department of Transport and Planning or be carried out in accordance with guidelines published by Department of Transport and Planning. This is a requirement of Regulation 293 of the Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2021.

Conversion of an existing motor vehicle to operate on Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) or Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a modification.

Guidelines for gas conversions

View the Department of Transport and Planning’s Vehicle Standards Information 27 for an LPG, LNG or CNG conversion.

Any LPG, LNG or CNG conversion carried out in accordance with VSI 27 is an approved modification.
 
VSI 27 also includes the Conversion Report that vehicle owners must present to Department of Transport and Planning to notify them of a change in fuel type.
