Deputy chief of the Santo Domingo Fire Service Colonel Jose Frometa has expressed doubts about the safety of propane gas installations being made for motorbikes. The gas installations are carried out by a handful of shops and cost around RD$7,500. Motorbike users are enticed by the promise of 60% savings in fuel costs.
Frometa says the installations are improvised and warned that the consequences could be serious, as reported in El Caribe. "We have always said gas is dangerous, especially in the way vehicles are handled, so imagine what this means for motorbikes", he said.
A Metropolitan Transport Authority (AMET) spokesman told the newspaper they had learned about the propane gas installations for motorbikes in a previous report published recently in El Caribe.
