Solenoid valve (does this exist)? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**UHlVExs7** · 02-10-2007, 08:37 AM

I've installed a lpg system on my car (1992 mercedes 190D 2.5 turbodiesel) and I'm in the process of tunning it. One valve though would help a great deal.

I need a valve, to control the lpg flow, that is activated from pressure (from the boost of the turbo). As boost increases so does the flow of lpg. Does such valve exist? If yes, do you know where I can find one?

Thanks a lot!

There should be something available - you're looking for some sort of variable or proportional valve referenced to intake pressure and throttle.
It may be worth talking to your local home gas specialists for the basic valve but I suspect you're going to have to set your own control system up.

boost controller?
to limit the amount of boost?

huh?

Theres a system that's used for under floor heating that uses solenoid valves that when required by the pump they open the valve according to flow rate from the pump.

so Im pretty damn sure you can get somthing simular

I take it your "mechanically minded" ??

Otherwise I guess you'll be adding to the space debris orbiting the ISS sometime in the near future. [rofl]

what?

**Anamehuskeene** · 02-21-2009, 06:28 AM

what?

Since I can't speak or write in Mexican, I'll try to explain in Welsh, ok I'm kidding, In English !!

The OP has installed a Liquid Petroleum Gas fuel system to work alongside his diesel engine, Now since LPG is very volatile and highly flammable, I'm assuming that he knows what the f*ck he is doing, otherwise It is likely that he will soon be launching himself and his mercedes into Space, where it will add to the rest of the space junk currently orbiting the International-Space-Station.

How can that be any clearer ??

Guys, I'm afraid you're wasting your time. First this thread is from 2007, and second the OP hasn't even been around since September!

Looks like I might have been right then. [rofl]
