Merlin Auto Gas LPG Conversions
What is LPG and where it comes from
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is obtained during the refining process of crude oil, and unlike some other fuels, there is currently a surplus of approx. 4 million tonnes of LPG per year from the North Sea alone, and this is estimated to increase.
Once this gas is pressurised, it becomes liquid, and is pumped into your vehicle in its liquid form. LPG has a higher octane level than four star or unleaded, and does not contain any lead, or other additives. Once released into your engine, it will naturally become a pure gas, resulting in a cleaner more efficient combustion.
Performance & Emissions
Engine emissions of carbon monoxide are almost reduced to zero, and the lack of harmful acids and carbon deposits prolongs the life of your engine, and also reduces servicing costs. You can also expect a longer life from your engine oil, as this is not being diluted.
Performance is almost exactly the same as with petrol, and there is no difference in the driving style of your vehicle. Even cold starting is exactly the same as petrol.
LPG is become popular in the UK, having been used for many years throughout Europe. You will notice an increasing number of LPG pumps at your local filling stations.
Vapour Sequential System (VSI)
VSI is an abbreviation for "Vapour Sequential Injection", the latest development from Prins Autogassystemen B.V.
With this development a new phase has commenced for the LPG and CNG industry
The system is fully integrated "master - slave" with the petrol management system which makes the system EOBD compatible so signal emulation is not required.
By injecting the LPG the same way as on petrol there is no difference anymore driving on petrol or driving on LPG. You will only notice the difference at the pump and benefit the environment.
