@@Cystus That's - uhm - yeah, it's wrong.

Exactly my question bro, also the picture has a G and a picture of a gas pump!!! (i am screaming)

@@Cystus Offended?

exactly

Yes but it’s a pity SHELL have pulled the plug on lpg

It's doesn't matter. When you distill oil you get a certain amount of gasoline and a certain amount of propane (and butane, kerosene, diesel). So if everyone migrated to propane then you'd just push the prices skyhigh meanwhile there would be a ton of leftover gasoline that didn't get used. Setting all that aside, propane has lower energy density. So you need more propane then gasoline. You just need to make sure everything that is made is used without wasting anything. But what you really need to do is get off oil totally. Propane is cleaner then other petroleum products but it still produces carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. That alone isn't so bad if we had enough trees to soak it up. But we don't. Basically anything that's a hydrocarbon is going to release a carbon when it combusts. So although using propane is an improvement if not all the propane is getting used, converting everyone to propane does nothing that I can tell. Unless there is a way to alter the product ratios from fractional distillation that I am unaware of. Not an expert, just an interested amateur. But as far as I can tell redistribution of who is using what still has the same net emissions if everything produced is used. And if not everything produced it used then you have massive waste products and have to drill more and refine more. See the problem?

​@@someperson7 I think it will be a long time until the world is ready to stop using oil totally. In the meantime, I think a variety of fuels (Petrol, LPG, Electricity, Hydrogen,) should be made more available for cars. As long as those fuels are used in the right proportion, the environment will still benefit from the overall reduction in Carbon dioxide emissions. As for LPG, it does produce carbon dioxide emissions, but it is lower than petrol. A lot of petrol cars on the roads today are suitable to have LPG systems installed. If half of them were to have LPG systems installed in them, the amount of carbon dioxide emissions would be significantly reduced. One disadvantage is the installation costs. But the advantage of having a car with LPG is the lower running costs. LPG is cheaper than petrol, the road tax is cheaper, and the engine life is extended due to the lower rate of petrol consumption. The money saved can go towards paying for other things. As for waste, a lot of things could be done to reduce it. Perhaps new cars ought to be manufactured at a slower rate, that would encourage more people to keep their current cars for longer instead of scrapping them too soon. That is already happening to some degree due to the current computer chip shortage. People that would normally buy a brand new car every 3 years are now buying preowned cars. I predict more spare parts will be used up over the next few years that would normally go to waste.

@@Mr_Chris__ I don't disagree with too much of what you said. And from a preparedness standpoint, dual fuel is REALLY GOOD THING. But I'm just saying all propane gets used and all gas gets used and it doesn't matter HOW it gets used, it gets used.

@@someperson7 I'm not quite sure what you mean about propane and gas. I imagine the consumers do use it all when it's available. Same with petrol, if it's in the tank then it will get used.

because the timing of the spark is more import for LPG than petrol. So, an old distributor may have slight wear on the teeth and be out by just a little. A new distributor will be spot on!

it goes with the water system and the hot water goes in the vaporizer and then magic happens

The hot coolant from the engine goes to the vaporizer to warm it up, otherwise the vaporizer would would freeze up. It also helps to keep the temperature constant to ensure a consistent operation.

what is the car

you will get only 11 km/L on LPG as each liter of propane has 5-10% less energy than petrol, but it'll likely be cheaper... enjoy

Depending on system. My Toyota 1.8 valvematic on motorway takes 7l/100km and the same on LPG. Fact is that this system injects little bit of petrol every so often apparently in order to clean valves and also starts on petrol when engine is cold. on the first service I've been shown on the computer that I drove 51 something hours on LPG and 2.5 hours on petrol

@@MrDziuka thats fine but whats the important thing is how much you spend per month on your modified system vs stock? If the cost savings are minimal then its not worth the additional complexity and capital investment.

@@hassanjamal4212 I don't spend money on system monthly 😂 not sure what you mean. I spend money on fuel now. And still in some places you can get LPG for 67pence/litre. But on average for 99 pence. The more you drive more you safe and I drive more then average. How much diesel is now?

@@MrDziuka i mean your overall fuel costs. For example, before lpg u spent 100 dollars per week/month/year etc, but now you only spend 60 dollars for the same time period or travelled distance. Thats the most important metric, how much money you saved. Not how little fuel you consume.

No if adjusted properly

Proper adjusting is a must. Certainly dryer thou , as you should not start running on LPG right away as you pull off.

New systems auto start on petrol and switch to lpg/cng

You can drive with vaporiser on LPG from start if it is warm. Only problem is that petrol hoses can rust when permanent use of LPG and when you run out of LPG and switch to petrol some petrol hose may leak on hot engine and then off you go

There you go. But by so doing is no longer a dual fuel system cos you will be needing another lpg ecu to regulate the quantity and air ratio. So going by your point, it's a complete switch to lpg system

that is wrong in au they always start the whole year only with lpg since they even dont have any gasoline in the tank

I can imagine problems with the car computer to a point these days. I do recall I converted a fuel injected car to LPG, early eighties model . I used a vaporiser which we call a gas converter or gas carburetor. Americans refer to gasoline as gas, so there would be confusion . A later improvement in the kit was the use of a flapping valve with variable on/off ratio for feeding the gas into the manifold and governed by a signal from the oxygen sensor reading if I got it all right ,and thus the ECU had a fix on something . The later models in late nineties started to require this so not to confuse the ECU . I got another car these days for which the LPG is piped in at small injectors at intake of each cylinder but I ain't studied it cos it works okay and I didn't install it and no damn room to poke about. But it still uses a smaller vapouriser as well..The LPG system for car I use regularly has a twenty years old tank which has missed two recertifications therefore but it's only the valves and gauges that get changed over andvif there was a leak.... Oh yeah hmm. Actually the tank has a rust patina , so I better paint it .

Vaporizer systems work more reliably. No trouble with the pump which is usually the problem with that system and cheaper and will run faster on LPG

felt like a incomplete bowl movement!

its a 60.

stako

Way wayyyyy cheaper than petrol

@@gabrielgomez2483 Yeah but the distance between mpg is a factor too no? Takes more lpg for the same milles driven.

local gas station

Yep any gas station

what are they talking about any gas station bwahahahahahaha these guys don't know

Aluminium body

Aluminum still corrodes

@@platinumsky845 paint doesn't corrode....

Depends on ur mileage, if you do around 10k miles anyway itll pay for itself

I also ask my self the same question... Why does the manufacturer do all this

MPG is not more - 1 liter of LPG has less energy than 1 liter petrol, so even with the most efficient burn and air fuel ratio, you're getting 10-15% worse MPG with LPG. But still for it's price it's worth it.

5% milage drop, 5% less power

@@platinumsky845 have you done that?

yea that's the right math. Here is LPG 0,5€/Liter and Petrol 1,5€/Liter so yeah, no brainer either. Just depends on the current taxation policy where you're at

@@W.Binderei LPG is 1/3 the price of petrol where you are? It would make sense to convert at that price.

@@fkarau Western Europe, in one of the top 3 most taxed country in the world...

So it would be pure propane in Canada and cold countries with possibility of a butane component in Summer. Our LP G is 50/50 mix with only a little variation seasonaly . I can see that in orderto ensure that those stupid direct injection turbocharged small engines ( SDI ? )don't wear out too prematurely from oil dilution that LPG would be an advantage . Otherwise change oil every 2000 miles, , maybe .

Not only price matter but polluting too, something that petrol and diesel cars users don't really care about. In UK at the moment regular fuel cost £1.3/l and LPG £0.6-£0.8/l . Tank took space from spare wheel. My car takes same amount of LPG and petrol per 100km. In Tokyo 95 percent taxis use LPG. This fuel is for sensible people not for petrol heads.

@Desmond Bagley Not really. My V8 Disco 2 is on the registered list. Means it installed correctly and safle. Acidents are bad enough without high pressure gas escaping. Go to Eire virtually every car is on LPG.

It can be done at home with the right equipment. I converted my Volvo C70. I rang my insurers to check that they would be able to cover it, and that was no problem. I then changed my insurer on renewal for a cheaper quote, then a month or two later got my system tested in Bridgwater. It appears on the drivelpg website. None of the insurers I contacted were interested in seeing any certificate (you don't get one anyway now, just an entry on the register). I have several local filling stations, and at the moment (5/10/2019) I'm paying between 56/57 pence a litre. My Volvo used to get about 28ish mpg on petrol on a good run, and even though it uses slightly more LPG than petrol, it costs me less than 10p a mile.

@@philcross7315 When did you do it?

Not necessarily. You have to consider heat tolerances and fuel air ratios. Course I didn't watch the whole thing so maybe they covered that🙂

I'm exaggerating here, but the difference between burning LPG and burning hidrogen is like the difference between burning coal and burning petrol.

Common misunderstanding. What you burn in your house isn't LPG, it's natural gas. LPG is a mixture of propane and butane while natural gas is mostly methane. LPG is a byproduct of oil drilling and refining.

@@konni6694 LPG is ok but not as economical as petrol.

@@jaggass Well sure you need about 20% more by volume compared to gasoline but what does that have to do with it?

LPG octane rating is 100. How can it have less power?

@Desmond Bagley In UK there is a lot less Goverment Tax on LPG, so it's a balancing act. Trouble is LPG fill ups are still few and far bettween. I have a Disco 2 V8 on LPG, mainly because I have station within 3 miles were I can get it. Engine does run well on it though.

All convenience stores in the USA have propane canisters.

Sam Kirk , octane isn’t a measure of caloric value, as you seem to think.

LPG has 80% the BTUs of petrol
