Propane vs Butane: Choosing the Right Fuel for Marine LPG Installations
When it comes to powering marine appliances and systems, choosing the right fuel is essential. Propane and butane are two[…]
Read moreLPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) has become an increasingly popular choice for heating and cooking appliances on boats of all sizes due to its unique set of advantages. One of the primary benefits of using LPG is its efficiency; it burns cleanly and produces a high heat output, making it ideal for quickly heating water and cooking meals. Additionally, LPG appliances tend to be lighter and more compact than their diesel and solid fuel counterparts. This weight savings is crucial for maintaining a vessel’s stability and performance. Furthermore, LPG heaters, boilers and cookers are often cheaper to buy than other boat appliances.
However, there are also some disadvantages to consider when opting for LPG appliances. Safety is a significant concern, as LPG is highly flammable and requires careful usage to avoid dangerous situations. In contrast, diesel appliances generally provide added security as diesel fuel is less volatile than LPG. Most boats already have a diesel system installed to supply the engine, saving the cost of separate LPG storage and pipework installation. Solid fuel appliances, while often more labour-intensive and less efficient, are also less reliant on external fuel sources, and might be a better choice for remote areas where LPG may not be readily available. Boat owners must weigh these factors carefully to determine the best heating and cooking solution for their specific needs and circumstances.
