BUSTAMANTE, ARJHUN A. and CREUS, JOHN CARLO A. Improvement of Light Driving Vehicle Using Alternative Fuel. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor in Industrial Technology, major in Automotive Technology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Mr. Danielito It Escatio.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) (also called Auto gas) is a liquefied mixture of propane and butane. It is an inevitable by-product of the crude oil refining process and of natural gas processing. In natural gas processing, the natural gas is cleaned off heavy hydrocarbons such as propane and butane before distribution. The improvement of light driving vehicle trainer was constructed using the following methods: canvassing and purchasing; reconditioning the engine; installation of retro fittings components; install and program the electronic control unit; check leaks; test and evaluate. The authors conducted canvassing in Manila and asked if there are stores near that place where they can purchase a conversion kit. Reconditioning the engine was done by the researchers by cleaning the injectors and spark plug so it will run smoothly. The deficit sensors of the engine were bought like VVT sensor, vacuum canister sensor and oxygen sensor. The LPG retrofitting kit system was installed in the vehicle in a proper way as per instructed by adviser and technical critic. It complies with the installation requirements of a series of amendments concerning the fixation of the fuel container and other delicate components of auto LPG conversion kit. The main purpose of the program is that it makes a test of the various parameters present in the ECU. The next step done was checking for any gas leakage in the engine system. An LPG system is specialized and needs a separate rigorous safety and component check. Before evaluating the improved auto LPG light driving vehicle, checking and testing for the last time and to its components were done if it is working properly. The 2NZ-FE engine is composed of complete components to operate the said engine. For its conversion to Auto LPG, the system has its separate Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to easily control the flow of gas-petrol and by switching it from petrol to gas. The project proved to be effective for providing knowledge about Auto LPG principles and components to automotive students. It will open new opportunities for students in enhancing their skills in Auto LPG diagnosis by conducting actual activities provided on the trainer and familiarizing basic Auto LPG troubleshooting. The project improvement had an initial cost of P 31,731.00.
