Typical faults associated with LPG installation

Cars equipped with a gas system, regardless of whether factory-fitted or later in the car's operation, are characterized by typical defects. However, if we remember what defects cause certain symptoms in the car's work, we can easily and cheaply get rid of them. Spare parts for gas installations are not the most expensive and parts that wear out during the operation of the vehicle have a relatively long life, and their replacement is not troublesome.

 

Ignition system

Due to the specificity of the fuel that our installation drives, the ignition system of the car is exposed to significantly higher loads. Depending on the type of installation and its generation, symptoms may vary significantly. In the worst cases, there may be a drop in the car's power, throttling and eventually the vehicle goes out. Mixing installations may also have characteristic shots.

Usually, the removal of a failure does not require a lot of financial effort. It is worth starting with the cheapest elements, which are candles. Their cost depends on the selected producer and may vary from several to several dozen zlotys per piece.

If this treatment does not bring effects, it may be necessary to replace the ignition wires. Here, the cost should amount to approximately PLN 100. It is worth taking care of such exchanges, it is not a high cost, and we eliminate the possibility of similar failures in the future.

 

Deterioration of the car's performance

Although in Poland there is always a conviction that installing a gas system in a car means that its performance drops significantly, this is a mistaken belief. Declines in performance, which many people explain by installation, are most often caused by incorrect installation configuration. Another reason may be the natural wear of gas filters during use. Their exchange does not take much time, and the cost is small and we will not feel it in the home budget.

Reducer can be another "culprit" giving similar symptoms as filter wear. However, this is a significantly more expensive part to exchange. Prices of reducers start at around PLN 150 and often exceed PLN 200. It is worth checking which model of the reducer will be suitable for the generation of the installation that we have in the car, the right selection is key.

 

Corrosion of the body and exhaust system

The reasons depend on the place of corrosion. In the case of bodywork, this is most often the case in places where it was necessary to intervene in the bodywork while installing the installation. In places where the elements of the installation were installed, as well as handles and protections to it, there is ordinary rust. This is solely the fault of an incomplete assembly. The assembly mechanic did not ensure proper protection of the car body, which is why he is exposed to oxidation. It is necessary to clean out spots of rust-contaminated sites and to restore them later.

In the case of an exhaust system, the wine does not lie with the mechanic or the driver. Due to the different nature of natural gas combustion, more water vapor responsible for unwanted rusty changes escapes through the exhaust system. Most often the rust spots are in the middle of the system or at its end. In this case, the only solution is to replace the entire exhaust system or parts thereof.

 

You can smell the gas in the car

In case when we start to smell the gas while driving, we should not panic. Most often it is related to minor leaks in the gas system or problems with the exhaust system, which we mentioned above. In such cases, it is necessary to go to the mechanic and conduct a leak test there. It is a small expense, and eliminating the detected defects does not take much time and also does not burden our pockets. People who have not previously been in contact with the propane butane mixture may not know that it has its own specific smell, which is characterized by high power. As a result, we can sense small leaks in the car, which are not in most cases hazardous.
