2005
marks the start of the most important enterprise we shall ever
conduct...And it won't make us a penny. To reflect growing
Global concerns about Climate Change we now offer our current and future
Clients a 'Carbon Neutral' Service. Our cars are now "Dual-Fuel"...... |
What is Dual-Fuel
Transport?
|
-
A
vehicle that runs on BOTH Petrol and LPG is termed 'dual-fuel'. It
starts on Petrol until warm then automatically switches to LPG
(Liquid Petroleum Gas)
-
With
Mileage of about 15,000 per year the reduction in annual Fuel Costs
are £1,240 due to the lower Tax on LPG
-
Annual
CO2 savings are AT LEAST 2.34 Tonnes Per Year (10 to 20%) & Hydrocarbon
(soot) emission
savings are 40%
-
NOx
emission savings are 80% & Carbon Monoxide emission savings are
35%
-
Installation
Costs (+tax) were £2,200. Payback period is 1 year & 11 months
-
LPG
is produced in Europe so its use reduces vulnerability to World
events
-
Some
Cars qualify for a grant in the UK (as well as exemption from
Congestion charging) plus you also get a reduction in your annual
Car Tax.

 Not
all Cars have as much space under the bonnet as this small car. Hence,
if you are considering a dual-fuel installation make sure that you have a
bit of space up front. Having said this, the LPG equipment takes up very
little space. Most, if not all cars that currently use Petrol can be
converted. Even the most sophisticated of luxury cars. It will not
increase your Insurance costs. It will not invalidate your Warranty so
you can still get your car maintained at your local dealership. |
 Here
we see the same part of the engine bay after installation of the
PRINS LPG equipment. At the top of the picture are the Injectors to the
engine. During operation the Car will switch over automatically to LPG
from Petrol when it is warm. This doesn't take long. There is no
difference in performance - just half price motoring and the comforting
thought that you are improving your country's balance of payments
whilst pumping out 2.34 tonnes less CO2 per year. |

Boot

|
 Autogas
requires a
pressurised cylinder to hold a supply of LPG in
addition to your normal petrol tank. Here we see the boot before
installation of the tank. There is space for a tank holding 50l (approx 250 miles
range). |
 Cars with space for a spare wheel can utilise that space.
THIS car uses run flat tyres so has no spare. However there is
still room for the tank shown. We can still get an umbrella &
a week's worth of luggage or an entire weekly shop in here! It's
perfectly safe too. |

 Maybe
you are wondering how you control all of this? In truth you don't.
The system looks after itself. However, there is a small addition
to your dashboard. Just choose where you want the gauge. This is
the only visible change in the cabin. |
 This
small combined indicator and switch shows how full the gas tank is
and allows you to switch over to petrol manually. However, this is
never necessary. There is enough LPG in the tank for 250 miles of
range. More than enough to get you from one LPG seller to the
next... |

More Information
|
-
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a
mixture of Propane and Butane. When used as a Vehicle Fuel it is
often referred to as "Autogas". The simple chemical make
up of the gases ensures that they are clean burning.
-
LPG is produced as a by-product in
both the extraction and refining stages of oil production. In the
past it has been considered waste and flared off. It is particularly
abundant in the North Sea's 'wet' crude oil.
-
Consequently the UK is Europe's largest producer, producing 6.4 million tonnes in 2001. Of this
over 3 million tonnes were exported. Only 50 thousand tonnes (7.75%)
were used as Autogas. The rest was used for domestic or agricultural
heating or in chemical or refinery operations.
