Can anyone advise me if there are any autogas (LPG) stations in the area..and do you know what type of fitment is used..

Many thanks.

I don't know about Benissa, but LPG services are popping up in Murcia and Alicante.

We had an LPG-converted car when we first moved here in 2017 (although we drove it back to UK, and don't have it now). There weren't many LPG points then, but they are increasing.

The Spanish filler fitting is different from the UK fitting, but you can buy a brass screw-in adaptor cheaply on ebay.

If you intend to import your LPG car to Spain, you may need to have the LPG conversion re-certificated in Spain.

Thanks for the reply..I do have an assortment of brass screw in connections( I'm sure one must fit) and yes I'd like to hang onto this car when I move...thanks again.

Good luck.

The matriculation process (getting a UK car into the Spanish system) can be a bit tricky for modified cars. You might need to find an LPG installer here and have him check/certificate your setup.

Dacia cars are popular here, and they sell models already set up for dual fuel, hence the increase in fuel points.

Tow bars can also be a problem if the little CE sticker has curled up and fallen off the bracket over time.
