FETURES & SAFTY of AUTO LPG
Why LPG?
Air-borne emissions of the principal regulated noxious gases from Auto LPG use are among the lowest of all the automotive fuels commercially available today.According to tests, Auto LPG generates significantly lower carbon monoxide (50% lower), hydrocarbon and nitrous oxide (45%) emissions compared to petrol, and even lower emissions compared to diesel.
Safety
Only Autogas LPG cylinders or those factory-fitted by your car manufacturer are safe for use in vehicles. These cylinders are specially constructed for use in transportation and face rigorous testing before being fitted into your vehicle. NEVER use domestic LPG cylinders to power your vehicle. It is not only ILLEGAL - being a gross violation of the Auto LPG Control Order - but a POTENTIALLY FATAL HAZARD as well.In India, an estimated 4 million car owners have retro-fitted LPG kits with domestic cylinders in their vehicles. Most of these cylinders are spurious and unsafe for use in vehicles, and lead to the explosions and fires that we read about.
Following are some of the reasons why a domestic cylinder should never be fitted in a vehicle. Vulnerability Domestic cylinders are vulnerable in a crash situation. Potential Health Hazard
- If the supply line in a domestic cylinder is sheared in a crash situation, there will be an uncontrolled flow of LPG into the vehicle interior.
- When the interiors of a vehicle becomes very hot – like during the Indian summer - the safety relief valve of the cylinder may open to release excess pressure, creating a safety hazard within the interior of the vehicle.
- In some cases, cylinders are not fitted with a safety valve. The connection between the cylinder and the engine is then vulnerable to rupture, leading to LPG entering the vehicle space.
Lower Pulling Power The power delivered by a domestic cylinder is less than from a Autogas cylinder specially constructed for use in transportation. The engine does not respond well during increased load conditions like quick accelerating or climbing a slope.
For your own safety, please use authorised factopry-fitted LPG kits only.
