The cost of gasoline in our country motoristsby no means happy. And the owners of commercial vehicles would have been at a loss if they had refueled GAZel with gasoline. But today gas can be used as a fuel. This will significantly save the budget and cut the company's expenses. Installation of gas equipment at GAZel is very profitable today, because their daily mileage can reach more than 500 km.
But installing HBO is necessary, carefully allhaving considered. "GAZelle" is commercial vehicles, so you need to know exactly when the investments will pay off. For calculating there are special calculators. But you can do everything manually.
So, the installed gas equipment for "Gazel" produced by Digitronic, for example, is intended for methane.
Installation work on the injector motorwill cost 50 000 rubles. The mileage of the car per day is at least 400 km. The fuel consumption is 18 liters of fuel. The cost of 1 liter of gasoline in our country is about 35 rubles. 1m3 methane costs only 9 rubles.So, if the car will run on gasoline, then the cost of fuel alone will be 2,160 rubles per day. And the cost of gas refueling will go to ridiculous 648 rubles. You can save about 1500 rubles a day. So, the installed gas equipment at GAZelle will pay off a little more than a month or 13,000 km. Further, the savings will go to the budget.
Methane is beneficial.Propane too, but here there are some nuances. The installation is much cheaper than methane, but the gas costs about 15 rubles. Its consumption is more than liquid fuel by approximately 10%. At this gas equipment "GAZelle" the price is lower, so it will pay off much faster. However, if the acquisition is made for the future, then methane is much more profitable.
Many motorists often do not know what to choose before converting their car.
If the machine is used regularly for long distancesdistance, and there are no gas filling stations on the route, then methane is not the case. Installed equipment on the "GAZelle" for methane has one feature - this fuel in the balloon fits a bit. For example, in a cylinder, the volume of which is 60 liters, only 15 cubic meters will fit. m of gas under pressure.
Small runs from one refueling, as well asthe low prevalence of such CNG stations makes it not the best option for small commercial vehicles for long-distance transport. It is better in this case to purchase a propane system. Gas stations are more common, and fuel can be found even in small towns.
Gas equipment on the "GAZelle" is not put by many. Why? Because of fear. There are certain myths about this fuel. Destroy these myths will be on the example of propane, but for methane - all the same.
This is the most common myth, it urgently requiresrefutations. If you do not go into details, the gasoline vapor in the tank should explode even faster than the gas in the tank. The balloon is designed and manufactured for pressures of 16 atm. The thickness of its metal is much larger than the walls of the gas tank, and the metal is much stronger. In case of an accident, the risk of destruction of the cylinder is extremely small.
From leaks there is a specialA safety valve that will block the unauthorized gas outlet. If there is a fire or the tank simply overheats, then it has a valve to relieve excess pressure. He will warn the explosion.
This could be true if the gasolinethe system allowed overflows. In any other cases, there will be no such savings. The price of propane is two times cheaper than gasoline, but its consumption is higher. The level depends on the type of equipment and its configuration.
Setting-up is a complex and slow process.Therefore, to ensure that the installed gas equipment on the "GAZelle" was beneficial, you should immediately find a quality service. Here it will be much easier for those who have a car already delivered from the plant with HBO. A good option - installation and configuration of equipment in dealerships. There it will be performed by specialists.
In fact, the gas is not driven by the poor, but those frompeople who are sorry to pay extra money. The more the car and the higher the consumption, the more it is justified. Modern equipment can work not only on "GAZel", but also on large and serious motors of expensive cars.
Do not be afraid.If the installation of gas equipment on "GAZelle" was done by professionals, then the system will not require major repairs for many years. As for the service, the service is not needed more often than for standard fuel assemblies.
This is indeed so.Characteristics of gas and gasoline are different. But according to measurements at the stands this difference is small - only 8-15%. In practice, the driver of a commercial truck will not notice this. The power and torque are affected by the setting.
For some motors, this is indeed the case.Since the burning time of the gas is greater, the exhaust valves experience higher loads. That they are not burnt, you should monitor the gaps. One more small nuance - not cooling valves.
Despite all the nuances, there are more pluses. The gas does not wash off the oil, the octane number is higher, there are no impurities in it, which can reduce the life of engine aggregates.
Among the most common models for todaydistinguish the fourth and second generation of HBO systems. The third generation is a transitional model and is used extremely rarely. The second generation has a simple device.
The gas equipment of the car "GAZelle"fourth generation quality and effective. All functionality and work are controlled electronically. Here, the operation of the distributed injection system is completely repeated.
The gas is in the cylinder. In liquid form, it enters the reducer-evaporator along a special line.
The evaporated fuel enters the fine filter. Then, along the highway, it enters the injectors, which, upon a signal from the ECU, will open. Then the fuel is fed to the sprayers.
Timely maintenance will ensure maximumreliability and durability. With proper maintenance, repair of gas equipment (for GAZel Business, among others) may never be necessary. The main problem that leads to breakdowns is the very low quality of fuel.
Maintenance includes block diagnosticscontrol, replacement of filters, checking of valves, cleaning of injectors, purging of lines, as well as checking the system for leaks. GGB for GAZel is a profitable solution that allows businesses to earn money. For large ranges, this is the correct solution.
