Default Lpg

So something about Lpg

Hi, I will present information about installing LPG in rotary engine.
Installation like in the car with 6 cylinders

reducer: AC R01
injectors: Hana
cylinder:50l but includes only 47 l


GAZMOBIL Tychy- Warsztat Samochodowy


performance
So car start normal on petrol after about 2 min (in summer) and 4 min (in winter) it change in to lpg. I don't see any problem with changing from pb to lpg. When you push acceleration pedal you can see like rpm drop from ~900 to 750 and than they go up. I thing the lose of power is about 2%. On Lpg car will not produce carbon, becose gas don't burn with oil from injectors. Car burn only 1 l of gas more than pb98, so this is great. I drive only 230km/h on lpg becose I don't have where to drive so fast.




Where is LPG
The cap for lpg is close to cap of pb. I see that removing the oil filter will be more complitated becose there is not much free space aroundd it. Trunk is smaler about 40% becose you have tank there. Wires go under the car

combustion Summer / Winter
mixed mode: 15,11 / 15,63
urban mode: 14,56 / 15,11
highway: 13,14 / 8,54
Economy Mode: 12,66 / 13,44
Redline: 20,66 / 25,54


pros and cons LPG:
benefits:
-you are driving cheper
- better engine culture
-ecological
-no check engine ( As for the lack of a catalyst do not know why this is so)
-LPG doent mix with oil so there will be no carbon
-better engine lubrication
-you dint flood engine
-clean oil
-car heats up faster
-fire from the exhaust
-more oil consubstion


MINUS:
-more vibration at idle when you have AC on
-smell of gas
- less than half the trunk
-more oil smell in the exhaust
-you can hear the ticking of the gas injection - it is not loud. (Open hood)
-fire from the exhaust
-more slower on klimie especially at idle while driving I do not see the difference


worth it or not?
For me, it is worth because cheaper, environmentally cost of such an installation is 3500-4000zł depends on what you want there, etc. If you drive a lot it pays (fuel costs are about 40-50% lower), and if the car is a weekend you do not assume because the gas loss of money.

I have done 8200km+ on LPG.
