INTRODUCTION
In addition to the full capacity of petrol the Indica Xeta now
comes with LPG as additional fuel choice.
WHAT IS LPG?
LPG or Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a safe and environment
friendly fuel. It is a liquid under pressure and turns into
gaseous state when exposed to the atmospheric pressure.
LPG is a non-toxic, non-corrosive; lead-free gas and is
produced by refinery fractionation of oil or is stripped from
naturally occurring Natural Gas.
LPG fuel system and the components are as safe as those
in other fuel systems.
For LPG operation, press the Fuel Selector Switch provided
on the dashboard, for approximately 3 seconds. The fuel
change over happens automatically.
The switching between fuels (Petrol-LPG-Petrol) can be done
at any time, even on the move.
Your car always starts in petrol / auto mode only. Hence it
is a must to have petrol at all times during running.
WARNING
DO NOT USE DOMESTIC GAS CYLINDERS IN CAR
because…
• Domestic cylinders are NOT designed for Car
application and this makes them vulnerable in a crash
situation.
• The chemical composition of domestic LPG is different
from that of Auto LPG, which may lead to premature
failure of engine and its related components
• The gas outlet ‘valve’ arrangement on the domestic
cylinder doesn’t meet the car fuel supply standards
and hence makes them more dangerous in the car.
For example the valve is not provided with excess flow
protection.This means that if the valve or supply line
gets disconnected in a crash situation, there will be an
uncontrolled flow of LPG into the car interior.
• When using domestic gas cylinder, your car’s engine
gets less supply of fuel when load on engine is
increased (e.g. while climbing a ghat). This is because
the cylinder cannot supply adequate LPG from the tank
to the engine.
