An attempt has been made in this project to use alternative fuel in four stroke engine to increase the efficiency. Our fore most aim in selecting this project is to use non conventional fuel against conventional fuel which is becoming scarce and costly now days. With this environment is less polluted than conventional fuels. It is also good with regard to economical considerations and engine efficiency. In our project, we have installed LPG fuel system to two stroke vehicle where in we can use both gasoline and LPG. The flow of liquid and gaseous fuels is controlled by means of micro controller. The gas comes by means of rubber hose to solenoid valve which operates in D.C. electric current. So a separate battery source is used to operate the solenoid valve. From solenoid valve outlet, separate copper tubes for idle starting and for acceleration are fitted to the carburetor. For lower speeds LPG will be supplied, and gasoline comes into action at higher speed operations. So, these combinations of fuel supply will be suitable for city traffic conditions, where mostly the mode of operation is low speed. Using this concept we can control our expenditure in buying of fuels.

Abstract


An attempt has been made in this project to use alternative fuel in four stroke engine to increase the efficiency. Our fore most aim in selecting this project is to use non conventional fuel against conventional fuel which is becoming scarce and costly now days. With this environment is less polluted than conventional fuels. It is also good with regard to economical considerations and engine efficiency. In our project, we have installed LPG fuel system to two stroke vehicle where in we can use both gasoline and LPG. The flow of liquid and gaseous fuels is controlled by means of micro controller. The gas comes by means of rubber hose to solenoid valve which operates in D.C. electric current. So a separate battery source is used to operate the solenoid valve. From solenoid valve outlet, separate copper tubes for idle starting and for acceleration are fitted to the carburetor. For lower speeds LPG will be supplied, and gasoline comes into action at higher speed operations. So, these combinations of fuel supply will be suitable for city traffic conditions, where mostly the mode of operation is low speed. Using this concept we can control our expenditure in buying of fuels.
