     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (February 4) announced that the department collected 10 liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) samples from auto-LPG filling stations and LPG terminals on a random basis in January 2016 for laboratory tests. The results showed that the LPG quality of all these samples complied with auto-LPG specifications.
