LPG system for a car

Happy owners of vehicles are increasingly paying attention to how to reduce the costs of maintaining and servicing a car. Installing LPG equipment is the main reason for saving money spent on fuel. Gas cylinder equipment has a number of advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of LPG include:

savings. This is the main plus when deciding to install LPG. However, it must be understood that savings will be achieved only if you use the vehicle constantly, otherwise purchasing LPG will not be profitable. This is due to higher consumption of autogas than gasoline;

simultaneous use of gasoline and gas. When traveling long distances, an additional fuel reserve appears;

stable and quiet engine operation. The octane number of gas fuel is higher, which allows the engine to operate with less noise and vibration;

increased service life of spark plugs. When running on autogas, no resinous deposits form in the combustion chamber of the engine system, so there is no carbon buildup on the spark plugs;

environmental friendliness. Gas fuel is less toxic and cleaner compared to gasoline, at least three times;

ease of operation. New generation LPG systems have an advanced gas injection solution that automatically switches to the required fuel type. Self-diagnostics and analysis of remaining gas level in the cylinder are installed;

lower probability of fire and explosion. Due to immediate cooling of the gas when the LPG system is damaged, gas leakage is less explosive than gasoline leakage. To detect gas leaks, a substance with a specific odor is added, allowing the driver to notice a malfunction in time.
