Introduction of LPG / Safety Precautions

Introduction to LPG:

Auto LPG is a clean, high octane and

Eco-friendly fuel. It is basically a mixture

of Butane and Propane and is obtained

from Natural Gas by fractionation and

Crude Oil Refining. LPG is in gaseous

state at atmospheric pressure, but can be

liquidated when moderate pressure is

applied or when the temperature is

sufficiently reduced. LPG produces less

harmful exhaust gases as compared to

petrol & diesel.

Safety Precautions

Do‟s:

If any minor work or body repairs are

to be carried out, turn the Multivalve

knob to close position prior to

commencement of the repair work.

Get the LPG cylinder checked

periodically as per the maintenance

chart.

If the engine does not start in LPG

mode, switch over to petrol mode

and take your vehicle to a Chevrolet

authorized service outlet for

inspection.

It is always recommended to start the

vehicle in Petrol mode.

Ensure that conduit pipes are always

in good condition and secured firmly.

Replace in case damage is noticed

Don'ts:

Never fiddle with any of the

components in the LPG system.

The cylinder should not be repaired

under any circumstances. In case of

any problem, consult with a

Chevrolet authorized service outlet.

Do not adjust setting of LPG system.

Do not install domestic LPG or any

other gas cylinder in place of OE

fitted cylinder.

Do not carry inflammable material

near the LPG cylinder.

Do not try to fill more than 26.20 liters

of auto LPG.

Do not use domestic LPG or any

other gas in your vehicle.

CAUTION

Always keep approx. 10-15 liters petrol

in your petrol tank, as your vehicle will

always start in PETROL mode. This will

prevent gumming problem in your

vehicle fuel system (fuel line, fuel pump,

fuel injector etc.). It will also prevent rust

from forming inside the petrol tank.

CAUTION

After washing/cleaning please ensure that

the LPG tank compartment is completely dry,

before starting your vehicle.

~ 6 ~

Safety

In Case of Gas Leakage:

Do not panic.

The ECU automatically switches-off the LPG supply from

the tank.

As a safety precaution, close the manual shut - off valve

provided on the „Multifunction valve‟ located on the LPG

tank. Ensure that the tank cover is properly fitted.

Roll down all the windows and keep the doors fully open.

The ECU will automatically switch the fuel mode to Petrol.

The ECU will not allow you to switch to LPG mode until the

leakage is rectified.

Contact the nearest Chevrolet Authorized service station

and get car repaired.

Maintenance

Check pressure on the gauge every week. The needle should

remain in green zone. If it comes to red zone, please send the

unit for recharging. The Fire Extinguisher is to be refilled

every three years even if it is not used.

Fire Extinguisher:

One fire extinguisher is located below the front passenger seat.

Method of operation:

1. Check that the pressure gauge needle is in green zone.

2. Hold upright and pull the pin.

3. Press the lever.

4. Direct discharge at base of flame with rapid sweeping motion.

5. Recharge the fire extinguisher after use.

Brief Description of LPG System

The brief description of sequential

injection system is as under:

Sequential Injection System can assure

higher performances without

compromising the simplicity of the

installation.

From the functional & performance point

of view Sequent Injection System has the

following advantages:

Reduced power loss

No gas air mixer

Very small reducer

No backfire risk

Reduced pollution levels

Sequential Injection is obtained by using

an electronic injector in each cylinder. A

high precision of gas dosage is obtained

using this system.

Auto-Diagnosis on ECU inlet/outlet is

protected against short circuit.

Spark LPG Vehicle comes fitted with bi-

fuel option and can be driven on auto

LPG or Petrol. An auto LPG storage tank

has been installed in the trunk

compartment and can store up to a

maximum of 26.20 Liters of auto LPG.

An auto LPG manual shut off valve is

available on the multivalve in the LPG

cylinder, in case gas supply to the engine

needs to be cut off.

A selection switch is provided on the HLD

Switch. This switch helps in selecting the

fuel mode for the vehicle.

Fuel selection switch also indicates the

amount of LPG in the storage tank. A

separate indicator is also provided on the

tank itself. In case, the gas is completely

exhausted, the vehicle will switch over to

petrol mode automatically without

stopping. Fuel mode can be changed

without stopping the vehicle.
