Introduction GASEOUS FUEL INJECTION Your Bi-fuel vehicle is equipped with two fuel injection systems, an unleaded gasoline fuel system and a gaseous fuel injection system. Two types of gaseous fuel injection systems are available: • Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) • Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) The two available gaseous fuel injection systems operate in somewhat similar manners. However, differences in operating pressures and gaseous fuel properties make it important that you understand which system you are using. If you are unsure as to which fuel system you have, contact your dealer. Your new Gaseous Fuel Injection System is a result of years of research and technical experience. It employes the latest solid state electronics to provide excellent driveability, emissions control and fuel economy. Compressed natural gas (CNG) Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases with a high concentration of methane that is stored under high pressure. Abundant reserves of natural gas in the United States and Canada allow natural gas to be used as a very cost-efficient fuel. Natural gas is a clean burning fuel, making it a highly suitable fuel to meet automotive emission standards. The CNG fuel system is rated at a pressure of 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi) at 21°C (70°F). The CNG fuel system's pressure rating is listed on a label by the CNG fueling point. • Look for one of these labels (depending on application). 3
