What are the common faults of the CNG pressure reducing valve?
1 Answers
Common faults of the CNG pressure reducing valve include: unstable idle speed, poor acceleration; the engine can start, but stalls when switching to gas or fails to switch. Here is relevant information: 1. Common issues: After converting to CNG, certain problems may arise. One situation is that due to the low energy density of gaseous fuel itself, the vehicle can carry less fuel capacity, resulting in shorter driving range. Most natural gas engines currently on the market are modified from gasoline engines, so the power of the vehicle after conversion usually decreases by about 10% to 20%. Moreover, natural gas, as a gaseous fuel, is extremely difficult to store and carry. 2. Device maintenance: Regular device maintenance is essential for CNG-converted vehicles. Due to the special properties of the fuel used, a comprehensive gas leakage inspection should be performed on the gas tank every half month. The inspection method involves thoroughly shaking water mixed with dishwashing liquid and applying it to the vehicle's switches, pressure reducing valve, and other joints. If bubbles are found, it indicates a natural gas leakage problem in the vehicle, and it should be sent to a specialized auto repair department for inspection and repair.
