Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) contracted with conversion companies in six states to convert approximately 900 light-duty Federal fleet vehicles to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The contracts were initiated in order to help the Federal government meet the vehicle acquisition requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT) during a period of limited original equipment manufacturer (OEM) model availability. Approximately 90% of all conversions were performed on compact of full-size vans and pickups, and 90% of the conversions were to bi-fuel operation. With a positive response from the fleet managers, this program helped the Federal government meet the vehicle acquisition requirements of EPACT for fiscal years 1993 and 1994, despite limited OEM model availability. The conversions also helped to establish the infrastructure needed to support further growth in the use of alternative fuel vehicles. In conclusion, the program has been successful in helping the Federal government meet the vehicle acquisition requirements of EPACT, establishing infrastructure, increasing the displacement of imported oil, and evaluating the emissions performance of converted vehicles. With the relatively widespread availability of OEM vehicles in the 1996 model year, the program is now being phased out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is autogas ?LPG autogas is an energy source that is recovered from natural gas deposits or from the refining process of crude oil. It is supplied and stored under relatively low pressure and at ambient temperature in liquid form. It changes from a liquid state to gas as it passes through the converter on its way to the engine in your car.LPG autogas conversion works in exactly the same way as a normal petrol(diesel) engine, only the conventional fuel is replaced with autogas LPG. Everything about the vehicle remains the same but a separate autogas fuel system is added. Converted vehicles become "dual-fuel" - you can change between running on petrol (diesel) or LPG autogas , even whilst on the move. LPG autogas tank constructed from steel is fitted in the boot. It is fitted with a multivalve. This unit comprises of a fuel gauge, a pressure relief valve, excess flow valve and various shut off valves. Tank is filled via a filling valve located usually at the rear of the vehicle. The LPG autogas in liquid form is carried through plastic coated copper pipes to the front of the car. Here it goes through a filter and than to the autogas LPG or CNG reducer. At this point it is converted to a gas ready for use by the engine. The flow of gas to the engine is controlled by an autogas ECU. This unit works alongside the car's own ECU constantly monitoring the exhaust emissions and adjusting the gas supply accordingly. This unit is self learning and adapts to different drivers and road conditions automatically.A switch on the dashboard allows you to select the option of running on autogas or petrol(diesel). LPG autogas or CNG kits to convert petrol and diesel engines consist of the same components. But the process of adjusting and setting the system looks different, cars with diesel engines requires more experience and knowledge.Learn step by step how to convert lpg gas to drive your petrol engine car and save 50% on petrol cost.
Download or read book Alternative Fuel Information written by and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new environmental and energy related laws begin to take effect, increasing numbers of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) will be required in federal, state, municipal, and private fleets across the country. The National Energy Policy Act of 1992 and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, along with several new state and local laws, will require fleet managers to either purchase original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicles, which are produced by automakers, or convert existing vehicles to run on alternative fuels. Because there is a limited availability and selection of OEM vehicles, conversions are seen as a transition to the time when automakers will produce more AFVs for public sale. A converted vehicle is any vehicle that originally was designed to operate on gasoline, and has been altered to run on an alternative fuel such as compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane (liquefied petroleum gas -- LPG), the two most common types of fuel conversions. In the United States, more than 25,000 vehicles already have been converted to COG, and 300,000 have been converted to LPG.
Download or read book Guidelines to Improved Performance and Fuel Consumption of Propane Conversions written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides engine-tuning guidelines for technicians converting gasoline-fuelled vehicles to operate on propane. The guidelines are based on a series of engine dynamometer tests. Available propane carburation systems were tested on engines representative of passenger cars (3.8 L V-6), light trucks or vans (4.9 L I-6), and medium-duty trucks (6.1 L V-8). In addition to evaluating the carburation system itself, experiments were carried out to improve the fuel consumption by optimizing the ignition timing and air-fuel ratio for a wide range of operating conditions. Installers are also provided with additional information on tuning the propane-fuelled engine to achieve better fuel consumption and performance.

Download or read book Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U S Transportation written by Division on Earth and Life Studies and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) and the Division on Earth and Life Studies (DELS) have released the pre-publication version of TRB Special Report 290, The Potential Impacts of Climate Change on U.S. Transportation, which explores the consequences of climate change for U.S. transportation infrastructure and operations. The report provides an overview of the scientific consensus on the current and future climate changes of particular relevance to U.S. transportation, including the limits of present scientific understanding as to their precise timing, magnitude, and geographic location; identifies potential impacts on U.S. transportation and adaptation options; and offers recommendations for both research and actions that can be taken to prepare for climate change. The book also summarizes previous work on strategies for reducing transportation-related emissions of carbon dioxide--the primary greenhouse gas--that contribute to climate change. Five commissioned papers used by the committee to help develop the report, a summary of the report, and a National Academies press release associated with the report are available online. DELS, like TRB, is a division of the National Academies, which include the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, Institute of Medicine, and National Research Council.
