Recently, it was reported that complaints about problems being experienced with the performance of vehicles operating on autogas in Korea. The problem was being assumed due to contaminants in LPG and an oily material which was being deposited in vaporizer, injector in LPG fuel system. This study is focused on the analysis of contaminant of automobile parts on LPG fuel system. The sampling points of contaminants are injectors, fuel filters, vaporizer in automobile equipment and it was also investigated by GC-MS, ICP-AES, SIMDIS and EDS. According to results, it was presumed that this contaminants had been analyzed plasticizers with hydrocarbons with high boiling point, Fe from steel corrosion, greases from gas station.

Liquefied Petroleum 6aso-PG) is combustible gas which used for fuel for domestic and automobiles. A research for adjust a component of LPG to improve the fuel characteristics and control the manufacturing process of that is carrying in petrochemical industry. Some kinds of LPG blending is considered as a adjusting method to control component of LPG. LPG is mainly propane for domestic use and butane for automobile use but propylene and butylene also a kind of LPG Change of explosion characteristic and combustion gas component by mixing of propylene in propane and butane was measured and analysed in this research. Based on the result of experiment, it was found that explosion pressure and pressure rise rate was slightly increased with mixing rate of propylene and it was considered the possibility of increasing the CO concentration in combustion gas with increase the mixing rate of propylene.

In this study, plasma reformer technology with a LPG injector was investigated. It was developed with injection of LPG fuel and air in a region where the plasma discharge to make the thermal decomposition carbon fuel and to generate additional hydrogen. As a result of reforming test, when power is 70~100W supply, about HC 0.7% of the full reformed gas and hydrogen was generated from 1.2 to 1.5 %.

The need for more fuel-efficient and lower-emission vehicles has driven the technical development of alternative fuels such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas(LPG) which is able to meet the limits of better emission levels without many modifications to current engine design. LPG has a high vapor pressure and lower viscosity and surface tension than diesel and gasoline fuels. These different fuel characteristics make it difficult to apply it for the conventional gasoline or diesel fuel pump directly. In this study, experiments are performed to get performance and efficiency of the fuel pump at different condition as temperature, rotating speeds, composition of fuel. The characteristics of fuel pump is affected by cavitation due to the variation of temperature and composition.

In recent years, the need for more fuel-efficient and lower-emission vehicles has driven the technical development of alternative fuels such as LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) which is able to meet the limits of better emission levels without many modifications to current engine design. LPG has a hish vapor pressure and lower viscosity and surface tension than diesel and gasoline fuels. These different fuel characteristics make it difficult to directly apply the conventional gasoline or diesel fuel pump. In this study, experiments are performed to get performance and efficiency of the fuel pump under different condition of the temperature, rotating speeds, and composition of fuel. The characteristics of fuel pump were affected by cavitation occurred from the variation of temperature and composition.

In this study, we investigated the casting designs for fuel tank valves for LPG automobiles. The valves we studied have two cavities inside the part. There is inevitable air entrapment inside the cavities. In order to reduce this kind of casting defect, we carried out computer simulations of molten metal flow during the diecasting process of the target products. The main process parameters were the ingate position, product direction, and injection velocity. We also examined the possible use of vacuum diecasting. The position of the air entrapment was almost identical for all the ingate positions and product directions. We found that the change of the injection velocity affects the position of the air entrapment. In case of vacuum diecasting, the position of the air entrapment was similar to the previous cases, but it is expected that the air entrapment will be highly reduced in a real situation due to the vacuumed space.
