    Hi,

    No problem, english ok!!!

    :friday:

     

    Are you from Russia??

    After 2 nd. world war, my grandparentes comes to Brazil, they have lived for 50 years, unfortunately they're dead...

    Natural Gas

    in General Forums

    Posted

    As you wish, I´ll try give you more information about Natural Gas convertion.

    My Pathy(95 v6 SE) already runs using this technology since 2002. So far I got no trouble and even make me save money.

     

    First of all, I´ll give you a list of what come with a conversion kit.

     

    a) One(or more) NG storage cylinder. Each cylinder suports pressure of +-700 psi, but they are only loaded with 200psi (security reasons).

    The capacity depends of the size of them and local temperature.

    One cylinder, that occupies half of a 95 Pathy´s trunk, must storage +- 25 m3 of NG at 200psi.

    25m3 of NG can drive you 120 miles in city traffic or 175 miles on road. Important thing, each m3 of NG cost 50% of an gasoline liter.

    The gas cylinders are equipped with safety valves which are opened when the pressure grows. These are very strong bullet proved devices.

    Some pictures of Cylinder´s installation.

     

    That Pathy (not mine) have huge storage, must be 55m3(two cylinders) or more, but no more trunk :huh:

    These are two JGC :hide: with diferent configuration.

    B) Injector Simulator. This is a litle eletronic device that full yours ECM saying that injectors are working when they are not. :blink:

    When you switch to NG yours injectors are turn off. So, this device "tell" your car´s control unit that everything it´s ok.

     

    c) Pressure controler. It´s a mechanical device that serves to regulate the pressure of the gas.

    Control gas flow to engine and manage to increase gas temperature.

    Picture: http://www.anchietagas.com.br/fotos/jeep/g..._instalacao.jpg

     

    d) Timing Adjuster. The engine, when runing NG, must work in advance. So, this eletronic device manage

    the trick of adjust timing when you switch fuels.

     

    e) Dissipator - Conect the lower gas pressure lines to the intake. Drop the NG to the engine.

     

    f) Switcher. Give´s you fuel status in cylinder and let you switch from one fuel to another.

    That thing under the wheel in this picture:

    g) Lines. high pressure Gas lines(pressure controler to cylinder) and low pressure gas lines(pressure controler to engine intake).

     

    Hmmm, I think these is almost everything...

     

    More information:

     

    Well, when runing you can always switch from one fuel to another.

    The NG usually makes you car loose about 10% of power, so I use gasoline when a needed (extra power :D ).

    This power loose exist because the engine is not originaly made to run with NG. But, if I´m not mistaked, you ´ll have a gain of torque with NG.

    However, a NG based engine CAN be much more powerful that a gasoline engine.

    It´s possibe because NG octane it´s much higher than gasoline, and so, the engine could run a hight compression tax without problem.

    Here, in Brazil, we have competition`s cars that run only NG.

    Technical effect

    The oil is not rarefied or polluted with combustion products, and as a result,

    the life time of oil increases 1,5-2 times, the oil operating consumption decreases by 15-20%.

    The engine working life time rises on average by 35%.

     

    Ecological effect

     

    When the engine is operated on natural gas, the emissions of carbon oxide CO are reduced by 4-5 times, of nitric oxide CxHx.

     

    That´s all folks!! :aok:

    Hey guys!

     

    It's been some time since I posted here, but I've been around reading your posts :aok:

     

    Since not many people read/write in English and some are lazy to do it :bed: we have created a Yahoo's group in 2004 and after that, at the end of 2006, a site (http://www.pathfinderclub.com.br), we're more than a hundred Pathfinder & D21 owners, getting together and trying to solve some issues like lack of anything from bushings to shocks P... , as well as money to pay the import taxes :(

     

    Greetings,

    Very nice

    Hi people,

    We are the CASA family from Brazil / Sao Paulo, we have a Pathfinder made in 1995 SUV 4 x 4 V6 with 107,000 km on it,

    this car works with two kind of fuel being gasoline our natural gas. In this weekend I will send some pictures.

    Our car it's very beautiful and very preserved. B)

    Sorry about my poor English.
