The two available gaseous fuel injection systems operate in somewhat
similar manners. However, differences in operating pressures and
gaseous fuel properties make itimportantthat you understand which
system you are using.
If you are unsure as to which fuel system you have, contact your dealer.
Your new Gaseous Fuel Injection System is a result of years of research
and technical experience. It employes the latest solid state electronicsto
provide excellent driveability, emissions control and fuel economy.
Compressed natural gas (CNG)
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases with a
high concentration of methane that is stored under high pressure.
Abundant reserves of natural gas in the United States and Canada allow
natural gas to be used as a very cost-efficient fuel. Natural gas is a clean
burning fuel, making it a highly suitable fuel to meet automotive emission
standards.
The CNG fuel system is rated at a pressure of 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi) at
21°C (70°F). The CNG fuel system’s pressure rating is listed on a label
by the CNG fueling point.
•Look for one of these labels
(depending on application).
Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of the
CNG fuel system. Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
gas vapor build up over time potentially resulting in a combustible
mixture.
Service to CNG fuel system must be conducted only at qualified
dealerships by qualified technicians. Failure to do so may cause
damage to components or cause bodily harm.
