Save 65% On Your Fuel Costs!
If the price of petrol is spoiling your fun, simply convert to Marine Gas.
Marine Gas is a high performance, low cost, cleaner LPG alternative to petrol
for power craft. At less than half the price of petrol is now and diesel soon will be, the cost of conversion
can be recovered in less than 2 seasons.*
Marine Gas is available from re-fuelling points at major marinas around the UK
coastline. LPG powered craft are quick and easy to refuel, and the risk of fuel
pilferage and spillage is virtually eliminated, improving safety.
Hamble Marine Ltd now produces a range of LPG conversion kits, spare parts and service items under the "HambleMEGS" name ("Hamble Marine Engine Gas/LPG System") formerly MGS.

* Based on 60% cut in fuel bills. A typical 250hp 5.7litre V8 engine consumes fuel at around 80lit/hr at full throttle and around 50 to 60 lit/hr while cruising. The cost of conversion (from £3,000 for a single engine) can be recouped in 100 hours. Cost of LPG is typically 45p/lit. Marina petrol prices vary across the country but are typically £1.15p/lit.
** Based on an average LPG conversion cost of £3,500 and a leading manufacturer's diesel re-engine which could cost up to £15,000.
