Adapting A Gasoline Car Like Honda Accord To Use Gas

Today, almost any petrol car after the year 2001 in Spain can be easily adapted to work with gas. This change does not solve environmental problems, but it means less pollution and at the price of gasoline, it is quite cheap .
In the garage of Ircon-gas in Mendez , in Madrid, carrying nearly 30 years transforming cars that can use gasoline to gas. As account Nacho Perez , sales manager of this pioneering company (originally called Flordisa), before there were many restrictions in Spain and was only allowed in taxis. However, after several regulatory changes, the gas option is now a reality for everyone. "Last year bill five times what the previous and the beginning of this going the same way, after a while, it seems that this has started in Spain," he says.
Without major modifications, petrol cars can be adapted to use two types of gas : liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or compressed natural gas (CNG). The most common is the first, also known as Auto-gas. According to the Spanish Association of Operators of Liquefied Petroleum Gas ( Aoglp ), this fuel produces up to 10.9% less CO 2 than gasoline and can help reduce air pollution in cities, producing fewer emissions of NOx and particles . The other option is natural gas, with even lower emissions of CO 2 , although nowadays it is more difficult to use for citizens. "In all countries with a major honda accord park gas, LPG was first developed and when this market was ripe then broke through the CNG," says Perez.
While there are already brands that manufacture gas cars in Spain, the vast majority are for outside the country and there is not much to choose from, so the most common way to move to this type of fuel is to adapt a gasoline vehicle. As they explain the mechanics of this workshop, which made changes to LPG or natural gas, changes to be made in a honda accord are almost the same in both cases. One of the most important differences are in the gas tank. The LPG is stored in liquid form at about 10 bar pressure in a small tank that fits in the hole in the spare wheel and that it browses on average about 500 km . However, natural gas has to be compressed at high pressures of between 200 and 215 bars . Its range is smaller, so it takes several large and elongated cylinders, which are more difficult to locate. But what else changes today between the two fuel is where refueling stations . "Natural gas there are three stations in the country, who are in Barcelona, Madrid and Valencia, while there are a hundred LPG ( map of them ) and this year is expected to double as a little "incident Ircon-gas representative, considering that natural gas could be interesting to vehicle fleets.

How do you transform a car that can use gasoline to LPG?

Adaptation can be performed in almost all gasoline cars enrollment date after 2001, but not in the diesel. As detailed step by step in the Madrid workshop, for processing approved kit is required (1) , whose installation is no more engine modifications that a small hole in the intake manifold. In fact, the most noticeable change is under the hood, but in the trunk. That's where the tank is placed usually exploiting the hole in the spare wheel (2) , substituting in turn the spare tire kit for . As gas burners, LPG is stored in liquid form in the tank the honda accord. In most commonly used systems (sequential indirect injection gas phase), a fuel pipe carrying the fluid from the rear to the engine and there is passed in a gaseous state or reducer frother being injected into the intake manifold, where enters the combustion chamber (cylinder). Be petrol or gas which is burned, the engine runs Igua l. The subaru impreza wrx sti will be able to use either the two fuels: gasoline and auto-gas. In fact, for starting is still using gasoline. In the same case where the decision to refuel, put another loading mouth for filling the gas tank. While explaining all this, in the workshop are working with a hybrid Toyota Prius to become a taxi driver "Trifuel": electricity, petrol and gas.
