Surely every driver who considered options for converting his car to gas, heard various myths about the dangers and dangers of gas equipment. For example, the myth that this substance “dries” the motor, reduces the resource for replacing valves and sensors, and constantly smells terribly in the passenger compartment.
"Where did these myths come from?" - the drivers will ask. Initially, this is the illiteracy of people who talk about it. They do not know the principle of the engine, as well as the process of combustion of fuel inside the engine. Of course, not everyone knows everything about the car, but this is not a reason to start gossip in the direction of alternative fuel.
All gas systems are divided into five generations. Today HBO of the 5th generation is the newest and most modern among other automobile installations. The principle of its operation is very simple: fuel using a special pump circulates inside the HBO system, then, after passing through several stages, it enters the engine. The main difference of the fifth generation from its predecessors is the ability to circulate fuel without heating the gearbox.
When installing the HBO of the 5th generation in the design of the car, practically nothing changes. Only a small gap is created in the fuel line, where a special valve is inserted, which turns off the gas supply if necessary. Other components and parts are not subject to change. Thus, the installation of HBO 5th generation is not irrevocable, at any time you can remove the equipment.
After installing such a system, the car will drive both gasoline and gas.
Advantages of alternative fuel over gasoline:
- First of all, low cost. For the price of one liter of gasoline, you can buy more than two liters of liquefied gas.
- A car running on such fuel is completely environmentally friendly - the amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere is 100 times less than that of gasoline.
- Durability of the cylinder-piston group: gas practically does not wash off automobile oil from the cylinder walls, and also mixes perfectly with air.
- Uniform combustion of fuel in the engine.
- Small lines at gas stations.
As is characteristic of all the details, HBO has its disadvantages:
- Firstly, the need for periodic drainage of accumulated condensate in the gearbox.
- Gas cylinders are quite large and take up a lot of space in the car. But for trucks this is not a hindrance.
- The car will become heavier by 30-40 pounds.
- In winter, it is almost impossible to start the engine with this fuel, you need to start on gasoline.
- It is necessary to change the air filter more often two to three times.
The price of HBO of the 5th generation varies from six to ten thousand rubles. It mainly depends on the brand under which the gas system is released, the type and volume of the fuel tank.
Despite all the disadvantages, such an alternative is quite popular among many motorists. And this is not in vain, because this system will pay off in about 15-30 thousand kilometers. That is, in a passenger car , the payback period will be about 6-10 months. And she will serve for quite a long time.
Thus, we found out that HBO of the 5th generation is a rather profitable solution for every motorist.
