‘LPG adapter type – which one to choose?’

Choosing the right LPG adapter is crucial for the proper functioning of the car’s gas system. In Poland, more and more drivers decide to install LPG installations. For this reason, it is worth knowing what types of LPG adapters are available on the market.

Types of LPG adapters

There are various types of LPG adapters available on the market, which can be divided into several main categories. We mainly distinguish adapters for cylinders with ACME thread, adapters for cylinders with DISH thread and adapters for cylinders with Euronozzle thread.

Adaptery ACME

ACME adapters are the most popular in Poland and most European countries. They are characterized by a special thread that allows quick and easy connection to a gas cylinder. ACME adapters are compatible with LPG installations installed in cars of brands such as Volkswagen, Skoda and Audi.

Adaptery DISH

DISH adapters are mainly used in countries such as Italy, Spain and Portugal. They have a special thread that allows attachment to larger gas cylinders. DISH adapters are compatible with LPG installations installed in cars of brands such as Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Lancia.

Euronozzle adapters

Euronozzle adapters are a relatively new solution on the LPG adapter market. They are characterized by a unique mounting system that allows for quick and easy connection to a gas cylinder. Euronozzle adapters are compatible with LPG installations installed in cars of brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Volvo.

How to choose the right LPG adapter

The choice of the appropriate LPG adapter depends primarily on the type of gas installation installed in the car and the country where we will refuel gas. Before purchasing an adapter, it is worth checking what type of thread our gas cylinder has and what standards are used in the countries we plan to visit.

If we intend to travel mainly around Poland and Central European countries, the ACME adapter will be the most suitable. However, if we are planning a trip to countries such as Italy, Spain or Portugal, it is worth purchasing a DISH adapter. If you are traveling to Western European countries such as Germany, France or Belgium, it is worth considering purchasing a Euronozzle adapter.
