That is what I used "LPG" because I asked the client and that's exactly what it is. I know airmailrpl had that included in his answer as well but mediamatrix was more specific and is only fair that I select his suggestion. Thanks to you both!

Jennifer Levey: In most English-speaking countries, only 'LPG' will be correctly understood. And 'autogas' is almost certainly not correct in asker's context, which seems to refer to an industrial installation.//No. 3 of your 4 answers are wrong or misleading.
