Gases to the OIL! Stations are handled on account and in the name of the respective gas suppliers. And that to high quality: to OIL! filling stations you can get for modern and powerful engines just as powerful fuels for every demand and for every requirement.

Autogas (LPG) quality

Fuels are standardized – thus also fulfilling the requirements of OIL! The fuels available at service stations meet all the requirements of current quality standards and EU environmental legislation. Autogas (LPG, from the english liquefied petroleum gas or GPL, from the French gaz de petrole liquefie) is a virtually sulfur-free liquid gas for vehicles with gasoline engines that have an LPG system. LPG consists mainly of butane and propane: ratio 95:5 to 30:70, generally as summer mixture 40:60 and as winter mixture 60:40 in the offer of the gas stations. The quality requirements for autogas/LPG are defined throughout europe in DIN EN 589 (or. oNORM EN 589 for Austria), which of course also applies to the autogas suppliers of the filling stations at OIL! Locations comply with. The octane number of LPG is around 110 octane.

Autogas (LPG) sources of supply

The autogas (LPG) available at the OIL! locations is available, is processed on account and on behalf of the respective gas suppliers.

Things to know about autogas (LPG)

Fuel is a chemical substance whose energy content is usually harnessed by combustion or other forms of energy conversion to generate power or produce a drive in technical systems. Three types of fuels can be distinguished:

Solid fuels (z.B. coal, biomass)
Liquid fuels (z.B. gasoline, diesel fuels, biodiesel/FAME)
Gaseous fuels (z.B. natural gas (CNG), autogas (LPG))

For detailed information on the term "fuel" and our fuels, please refer to our glossary.

LPG respectively. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a fuel for vehicles with gasoline engines that are equipped with an LPG system. The nearly sulfur-free liquid gas according to DIN EN 589 consists mainly of butane and propane. the abbreviation LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas, in addition, it is also called GPL after the french gaz de petrole liquefie denotes. LPG is a gas that remains liquid at room temperature under relatively low pressure, which gives it its name.

The emission values of this gas are lower than those of gasoline and its exhaust gases can be converted in vehicle catalytic converters even at low temperatures. Since it is also virtually sulfur-free, its combustion does not produce soot. Therefore, vehicles that run on LPG or natural gas are also the only vehicles with internal combustion engines that are allowed to be used indoors.

The mixing ratio between propane and butane is between 95:5 and 30:70. As a rule, it is offered as a "summer mixture" in the ratio 40:60 and as a "winter mixture" 60:40.

Detailed information on fuels can be found in our glossary.

autogas offers the following advantages:

Transportation and storage: LPG stands for liquefied petroleum gas and is generally used to describe gases that remain liquid at room temperature under comparatively low pressure and are therefore easy to transport and store.
Lower fuel costs: When used as a fuel, LPG is subject to a lower tax rate due to its lower emission value. fuel costs can be reduced by around half with autogas. Conversion is possible for almost any vehicle with a gasoline engine.
Lower emission levels: the emission values of this gas are lower than those of gasoline, and its exhaust gases can be converted in vehicle catalytic converters even at low temperatures. Also, because it is virtually sulfur-free, its combustion does not produce soot. For this reason, vehicles that run on LPG or natural gas are also the only vehicles with internal combustion engines that can be used indoors.
High range: in case of conversion, the gasoline supply system remains in place. This means that it is possible to switch between gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) operation – which means that a total range of around 1000 km can be achieved per tank load.
Nationwide network of filling stations in germany: the autogas filling station network in germany is also well developed, so that autogas (LPG) refueling is possible throughout the country.

CNG is not to be confused with LPG. Compressed natural gas (CNG) refers to approx. 200 to 250 bar compressed natural gas, while liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) contains liquefied gas at a low pressure of 8-10 bar. This makes LPG easier to store. The main difference between these gases is that LPG is stored and refueled as a liquid at 8-10 bar and is heavier than air. CNG is compressed to 250 bar, is gaseous and lighter than air. Consequently, the quantity refueled at natural gas/CNG stations is also calculated in kilograms instead of liters, as is the case with LPG stations.

CNG is natural gas with increasing bio content (methane); LPG (consisting of butane/propane mixtures) is a by-product of petroleum refineries.

CO2 reduction is highest with CNG (also in relation to gasoline and diesel, of course), especially if bio-CNG (biogas) is used.

In addition, the network of filling stations for LPG fuel is significantly larger than that for CNG fuel, both in Germany and throughout europe. Use our fuel station finder to find autogas and CNG stations at OIL! To find.

In germany, the autogas/LPG filling station network is well developed. Also OIL! Many filling stations offer autogas stations at their filling stations with. In contrast to Austria, Switzerland and Denmark, the network of filling stations in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Italy, England and Poland is relatively well developed. Gas filling stations.De offers z.B. An overview of stations in europe (no guarantee).

In addition, if necessary. adapters may be necessary for the taps in foreign countries, some of which are provided by the filling stations. In germany, you will mainly find the so-called ACME connection (also in belgium), while in the netherlands the bayonet connection and in italy as well as france, for example, the dish connection is widespread.

Use our OIL! Petrol station finder to find your petrol station around the corner where you can fill up with LPG:

When refueling your vehicle with LPG, you should keep in mind that you can only fill autogas tanks up to max. 80% filling allowed; shut-off is normally automatic via a fill-stop valve.

When traveling to surrounding countries, you should also note that if necessary. adapters may be necessary for fuel dispensers in foreign countries, some of which are provided by the filling stations. In germany you will find mainly the so called ACME-connector (also in belgium), while in the netherlands the bayonet-connector and in italy and france for example the dish-connector is common.

Unold backmeister noble – top workmanship and design

The name "backmeister edel" really does come to mind with the unold breadmaker. We find the design very chic. Stainless steel comes not only with the basic device, but almost for use everywhere outside – even with the lid, handle and switches.

In addition, it seems to us that the very high quality workmanship. This is especially noticeable in the baking form. It is coated with the ceramic mixture "FUSION sol-gel" from the company Whitford. The non-stick coating is scratch-resistant and is very easy to clean.

16 different programs

The unold breadmaker offers you 16 different programs at disposal. Although this means that the appliance cannot keep up with the test winner from panasonic, it still occupies 3rd place in terms of the number of programs. Space.

As bread types you can choose "basic" for normal bread, gluten-free bread and wholemeal bread at your disposal. In addition, there are the speeds "fast" and "super fast" for normal and wholemeal bread. Furthermore, there are different dough programs, for example, pasta dough and a program for preparing jam.

The unold baking machine is easy to work with

Equipment and accessories for the unold breadmaker

The unold breadmaker lets you select two bread sizes: 750 grams or 1.000 grams of bread weight. You can also choose between three tanning levels decide. For comparison of the devices we always select the middle level. When it comes to the baking result of the unold automatic bread maker, we notice that the bread is darker in comparison to other models becomes.

The unold breadmaker scores points with its viewing window. This allows you to watch the bread being kneaded, proofed and baked – even if the window tends to mist up. Unfortunately, there is no interior lighting.

This is how bread is baked with the unold breadmaker

With the unold baking machine we first try the suggested basic recipe: a simple wheat mix bread. But unfortunately result a bit bland. The crust is very firm and hard. The crumb remains bright. Perhaps the temperature at the beginning of baking is so high that the crust quickly becomes firm and the heat does not reach the inside of the loaf so well. Depending on the recipe, the lightest browning level is recommended. In addition, the dough does not rise so nicely, the bread is very flat.

In later attempts with wholemeal bread, the bread becomes less dark. The dough also rises better and the bread becomes nice and fluffy. However, the bread crooked. one side is flatter than the other. This is probably due to the fact that the dough after kneading does not get a round shape. By the way, the unold baking machine has the problem of crooked bread in common with two other machines in the test: the bread is baked in a similar way in the bread baking machines from kenwood and morphy richards.

The best bread results we reach with a baking mix. The succeeds with the unold breadmaker really well.

The programs are not made for many different types of bread, but the most important functions are nobly covered in the unold backmeister. Unfortunately, we find the baking result compared to other machines not so nice. on the other hand, the backmeister scores with a relatively low price: the unold breadmaker costs about 100 euros*.
