» Frequently Asked Questions
Why is this Golf car gas-only?
Research showed that most customers wanted a system that completely removed the need to have petrol on the premises. This overcomes the difficulties that customers are encountering in both transporting and storing large quantities of petrol. A 100% gas Golf car is also the most cost effective way of converting a Golf car.
Are gas-powered Golf cars safe?
20,000 Forklift Trucks and thousands of road vehicles are already using technologies similar to that used on the Golf car and have an excellent safety record.
What happens if I run out of fuel?
A fuel gauge is conveniently located on the Golf car to ensure you do not run out.
How do I know how much gas is in the bulk tank?
There is a gauge under the cover of the bulk tank and the fitter will explain how to read this gauge, as well as how to fill the Golf cars onboard tank. You then have the option of keeping an eye on the bulk tank gauge and ringing Calor when you want the tank refilled. Alternatively Calor will carry out automatic top-ups based on your predicted consumption or where possible offer the fully computerised telemetry system which organises deliveries as you need them.
What are the requirements with regards to locating the bulk gas tank?
Dependent upon the size of bulk tank, it will be required to locate the tank a minimum distance from a building or boundary. This is 3 metres in the case of the 2000 litre tank. You will also be required to provide a concrete base for the siting of the tank. The Calor Sales Consultant will advise you on the best location, for your particular circumstances, when he visits you.
How does the performance compare to petrol golf cars?
There will be no perceptible difference between a gas powered and a petrol golf car.
Can I run my Golf car and my car from the same gas tank?
Yes, but a road-going vehicle must only be powered by duty-paid fuel .If you wish to run your Golf car from your Autogas tank, this would be perfectly legal. You would still save 50% on the cost of the fuel and, the tank and pump rentals would only be paid for the one tank and pump that services both vehicles. Under no circumstances should a Road-going vehicle be filled from a Golf car tank on which no duty will have been charged.
