Introduction 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). Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of the CNG fuel system. Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in gas vapor build up over time potentially resulting in a combustible mixture. Service to CNG fuel system must be conducted only at qualified dealerships by qualified technicians. Failure to do so may cause damage to components or cause bodily harm. 3
