Fabrication of Gas kit for Four-Wheeler

Abstract

Bikes (two-wheelers) will continue to play a significant role in a human’s life. Gaseous fuels such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) have been broadly used in commercial vehicles. In this, an experimental investigation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as an alternative fuel for a gasoline engine is evaluated. An effort has been made to use non-conventional fuel against conventional fuel which is becoming scarce and costly these days, as non-conventional fuel will lead to less polluted air than conventional fuel. It is also worthy of economic considerations and engine efficiency. In our paper, we have designed and installed LPG gas kit on a fourstroke vehicle in which we can use both gasoline and LPG as fuel. The alterations are made to install LPG in the vehicle & its effects are studied & discussed. For lower speed vehicles, LPG is appropriate, but gasoline is suitable for higher speed operation. So, their combinations are studied as fuel supply which can be suitable for city traffic conditions, in which mostly the mode of operation is low. Using this concept, we can control our expenditure in buying of fuels.
