Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

With reference to the discussion on LPG, Commercial Motor, March 12: (just received).

While the use of LPG by itself in a road vehicle engine is, at present, tax-free and legitimate there could be doubts about the legality of a dual-fuel system.

The incorporation of gas into a hydrocarbon oil is prohibited except in a refinery* and it might be argued that the induction system of a dual-fuel engine does, in fact, cause such incorporation of gas.

*Hydrocarbon Oils (incorporation of Gas) Regulations 1951 (Si, 1951 No, 590).

V. BISKE, Chester. [Regardless of the point raised here, last week's Budget news makes it virtually certain than LPG as a vehicle fuel will be taxed at the full rate—Ed,]
