Do I need a different CO2 detector for LPG?

[davidathomas42]

I know CO2 is CO2 but unburnt leaks of LPG is a different gas to Propain. Do I need to get a different detector now I have upgraded to Gaslow system?

For your purpose Autogas is the same thing…., but it‘s CO that is the product of incomplete combustion not CO2

Butane vs Propane - Isobutane - Properties

What is the real difference between butane, isobutane, propane and LPG? All three gases are consider to be LPG - Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

Depending where you fill up it's just got a percentage of butane in it. But in the UK I suspect it's mainly propane anyway.

By the time any leak is a problem you'd probably smell it anyway.

Our van came fitted with a smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector and lpg detector which tends to go off when filling the underslung tank.
