SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS:
LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gas, a by-product of refined crude oil, is a gas at room temperature and pressure, and a liquid at a pressure of 2 Bar.
In automobiles it is used as a propane and butane gas mixture whose chemical and physical characteristics provide outstanding performances in terms of power, flexibility and efficient engine operation.
It burns without leaving any engine carbon deposits that lead to premature wear and extends the service life of spark-plugs, valves and pistons while helping engine oil maintain its original properties longer. When burned, it produces less carbon and nitrogen oxides and unburned hydrocarbons than petrol or diesel oil, without generating any aromatic hydrocarbons or sulphur dioxide.

REFUELLING:
Refuelling is carried out by inserting a special nozzle into the car’s filler opening that differs in various countries (coupling type in Italy, bayonet in Holland, and ACME for the United States, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Austria and Belgium). It is possible to fill 80% of the tank. We suggest to check this filling value and to extinguish any flames and cigarettes while refuelling.

THE SYSTEM
Gas flows from the tank and, running along the high-pressure piping, passes through an on-off solenoid valve, that is closed when the car is running on petrol or when turned off, and reaches the reducer-vaporiser. In the reducer-vaporiser, the L.P.G., heated by the engine water to ensure perfect gasification, changes from a gas to a liquid and thus at atmospheric pressure enters a special device that injects the gas into the engine according to demand.
