What LPG is
LPG has four names: LPG on the pump, autogas in the UK and Australia, GPL in France, Italy and Romania, and автогаз in eastern Europe. It is propane and butane, sold as a liquid under light pressure. A petrol car needs a conversion to run on it.
Why LPG is hard to find
LPG maps show what someone recorded in the past. Stations often stop selling LPG without notice. Drivers on forums have reported the same thing for years: a chain removes LPG from hundreds of stations, and popular maps still show them a year later. You can drive twenty miles to a green pin and find no LPG tank there.
What the LPG count leaves out
The count on this page includes only stations tagged fuel:lpg=yes in OpenStreetMap, in the cities Refuelia counts. Stations without the tag are not counted, so the real number is higher. A tag only means the pump was there when someone last looked. It may be gone today.
What the map shows for each station
If a driver confirmed a station, you see that it is a driver report and when it was sent. If nobody has checked lately, the station says “Not checked recently”. The map does not show a green pin that nobody reported.
LPG adapters for driving abroad
Europe uses four LPG fittings: ACME, dish, bayonet and an Italian version of the dish. No one fitting works everywhere. The UK and the Netherlands use bayonet. Germany, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and Switzerland use ACME. Carry all four adapters. The map does not show which fitting a station has.

Find LPG on the map
Filter the map to LPG. You then see only stations recorded as selling it. You do not need an account to use the map. At the pump? Confirm it still sells LPG in one tap. It is anonymous. These reports are what keep the map up to date.
