Today, the alternative to gasoline is gas fuel for cars. It is cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Therefore, some car owners are trying to convert their cars to gas.
Instructions
Step 1
When converting a car to gas, do not dismantle the old fuel supply system. Then you will have the opportunity to use both gas and petrol for refueling. Such systems will exist in parallel.
Step 2
For cars, use LPG. It does not require large containers, as well as complex elements of fuel equipment. Remember that for the summer composition, liquefied gas contains about 50% propane, and for the winter one - 85-95%.
Step 3
First, deal with the device of special gas equipment. It includes a cylinder, a reducer-evaporator and a mixer. The gas from the cylinder enters the reducer-evaporator through the pipeline. In the evaporator, its pressure drops to 1-2 atmospheres and steam is formed. After that, the gas in a vapor state enters the mixer, where it mixes with air. The combustible mixture is then burned in the engine.
Step 4
If you have a sedan, then place the gas bottle in the back of the trunk, immediately behind the back of the rear seats. For hatchbacks and general purpose bodies, use toroidal cylinders. They freely fit into the "spare wheel" niche. There are also compact cylinders, which are placed on the sides of the trunk.
Step 5
For the selection of gas equipment, contact a specialist. Tell us in what mode you plan to use it, will you constantly drive on gas fuel or only periodically, in the absence of gasoline. The quality and price of the selected kit depends on this.
Step 6
After choosing, start the installation process. Be sure to perform this procedure in a specialized salon. With a standard machine and a standard kit, this process will take only 5-6 hours.
Step 7
Be especially careful when installing gas equipment on the injector. Be sure to make sure that the safety valves are installed to accurately determine the location of the mixer and correct the ignition timing.
Step 8
After completing the installation, be sure to check the debugging and carry out the adjustment with specialists. This will ensure optimal fuel consumption and maintain a good engine life.
Step 9
The last stage includes registration of the installation of gas equipment and obtaining the relevant documents.
