LPG

Technical
Information |
|
 |
LPG
has long had an outstanding record as a popular safe automotive
fuel in many countries. However, until recently, in Marine pleasure
boating, LPG was only known as a fuel for onboard cookers. |
|
The
development of sophisticated electronic safety and engine management
technology has now made it possible to safely utilize LPG as a replacement
or bi-fuel for petrol engine boats. |
|
LPG
is stored in the liquid form in the on-board tanks. Storage and
leak detection standards are very high and are automatically monitored. |
|
The
only engine accessory which is removed from the petrol engine is
the air filter which is replaced with another filter which forms
part of the LPG carburetor. All other Marine LPG components are
added on to the engine. |
|
LPG
components can also be removed and transferred to a new boat. |
|
Fuel
tanks come in various shapes and sizes, are fitted according to
available space and to the boat owner's cruising requirements. Tanks
are pre-treated with a special marine resistant finish. |
|
The
boat can be operated on LPG or petrol, as required. |
|
The
electronic engine management system is programmed to adapt to and
respond to different boating circumstances in the most appropriate
and safe way. |
|
Marine
installations must only be carried out by fully qualified personnel.
Autogas-Marine guarantees all installations. |
|
Whether
in a marina, at anchor, or cruising, the boat is constantly monitored
against any gas or petrol leaks. The detection threshold is set
to a very low level of tolerance. This means that leakages are detected
well before they reach dangerous concentrations. Depending on various
circumstances, the system will shut down all fuel tanks, isolating
the leak. |
