LPG Tank
Tasks / Functions
The liquid gas tank is a pressure-resistant
steel tank which can absorb 10 to 230 liter
liquid gas depending on the size.
The storage pressure is approximately 9 bar.
At an excess pressure of approx. 25-30 bar the
safety valve opens and blowes out the gas outof-doors.
Recess tanks as usual today, which are
available in different sizes can be placed
directly in the spare-wheele recess of the
trunk.
The spare wheel will be replaced by
emergency tire inflator.

LPG Multivalve - Safety valve
Tasks / Functions
At an excess pressure of approx. 25-30 bar the safety valve opens and blowes
out the gas out-of-doors, so the tank can not explode at a fire of the vehicle!
Also when refueling the savety valve cuts off when the recess tank is (at approx.
80%) full.
At the same unit there is a tank fuel level indicator and a manual shut-off valve
in order not to drain the complete tank at the gas system when performing
repairs.
The solenoid shut-off valve is only activated after the activation of gas
operation.

LPG Evaporator pressure regulator
Tasks / Functions
The liquid gas arrives from the tank to the
evaporator pressure regulator.
Via the cooling circuit the evaporator
pressure regulator is heated in order to
guarantee a faster vaporisation of the
liquid gas.
At the evaporator the pressure is reduced
to 2 bar. This pressure is constantly
available at the injectors.
