A clogged catalyst is a big problem, the first thing to think is to cancel but it is not always possible or convenient; first of all you must comply with environmental rules and traffic permits. When this component reaches that state, it is usually not the root cause but the consequence of a previous problem: ignition failures (misfire) or a sustained rich mixture. In these conditions, unburned fuel enters the catalyst, raises the temperature above its design range and ends up melting or collapsing the internal ceramic material. They also influence burned oil due to wear of rings or valve guides, and use of contaminated fuels, all of which accelerate the formation of deposits and obstructions.

From an engineering point of view, the engine is calibrated considering the controlled restriction of the exhaust system, including the catalyst. It's not just a "filter", it's an element that forms part of the system's pressure balance. The counterpressure generated directly affects the sweeping of gases, volumetric efficiency, and behavior of oxygen sensors. When the catalyst clogs, that counterpressure shoots up, making it difficult to evacuate burned gases, contaminating the fresh load and causing loss of power, increased exhaust temperature and possible damage to valves and pistons. This phenomenon can be analyzed even with exhaust pressure transducers or by comparing sensor signals in advanced diagnostic.

If you decide to cancel it, you run into both technical and electronic problems. The ECU is programmed to monitor the efficiency of the catalyst by comparing signals of oxygen sensors before and after. Upon removing it, that correlation is lost and codes such as P0420 or P0430 remain active, as well as possible codes related to sensor response such as P0133 or P0140. Even if you try to “cheat” the system, mix adaptations can be altered.

What's the difference between Epower and Hybrid?

The wheels are driven: an e-Power system uses an electric motor to exclusively drive the wheels, while a conventional hybrid can use either the gasoline engine, the electric motor, or both to drive the wheels. In the e-Power system, the gasoline engine only acts as a generator to charge the battery and power the electric motor. Conventional hybrids often have a more direct mechanical link between the engine and the wheels.

WHY IS MY CNG TANK WET OR HOT? IS THIS NORMAL?

YES!

CNG tank condensation, or "cylinder sweating," occurs when the CNG tank cools significantly during gas expansion and release, causing surrounding air's water v***r to condense on the tank's surface.

When natural gas is compressed into a fixed-size cylinder to store more fuel, the gas molecules are forced closer together. This compression process, governed by the ideal gas law, increases the temperature of the gas and, consequently, the tank.

CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ABOUT JERKING!!

Sudden engine stalls or "jerks" can be a frustrating and even dangerous experience. Imagine driving and suddenly feeling the engine lose power for a moment, generating an unexpected jerk, or even shutting down without warning. 🧐

This type of problem is usually caused by a momentary interruption in the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor signal. When this happens, the engine literally goes "blind" for a moment, as the ECU doesn't receive the information necessary to synchronize the spark and fuel injection, resulting in a loss of power or stalling.

The most common cause of this failure 👉 is a false contact or a temporary disconnection in the CKP connector, as seen in the image, where the wires are worn or sulfated. This type of electrical problem interrupts communication between the sensor and the ECU, causing a mismatch that directly affects engine performance.

Furthermore, if the CKP sensor is not properly adjusted or is disconnected from its base during installation, it can generate inaccurate readings that destabilize engine operation. Therefore, it is essential to check both the connector condition and the sensor's proper fit during diagnostics, ensuring that any points of failure in the system are eliminated.

CKP sensors generally have three wires that work together to ensure proper signal transmission to the ECU. Each of these wires has a specific function that is critical to the system's performance:

✅Power cable (5V or 12V): This cable supplies the power necessary for the sensor to function properly. Without this constant voltage, the sensor would not be able to generate the crankshaft position signal.

✅Signal cable: This cable transmits key information, in the form of electrical pulses, representing the crankshaft position and speed. This data is processed by the ECU to synchronize the spark and fuel injection system.

✅Ground Wire: Provides the voltage reference needed to stabilize the circuit and prevent signal interference. Poor contact with this wire can cause erratic readings or complete signal loss.

If any of these wires are damaged, sulfated, or have loose connections, the sensor signal may be lost or distorted, causing the symptoms of sudden jerks or blackouts. Therefore, it is essential to check the condition and continuity of each of these wires during a diagnostic test

How to Increase CNG Car Accelleration

Most people take it for granted that when you convert your car to CNG the pick up of the vehicle would always be much lower than that on Petrol…this is merely a misconception and an unfound myth.
We would like to clear out that the pick up of cars running on CNG can be as good as that on Petrol provided you use correct equipment in the kit with high quality, like constant pressure reducers, good quality ECU and software as well as fast response time CNG injectors. Lately, the market is flooded with low quality CNG kit equipment reducers, ecu’s and gas injectors which are copies of popular brands thus compromise heavily on performance and using such spurious products and kits its not possible to increase CNG car pickup.

It is equally important to have installation done correctly by an expert. Simple things like placement of manifold nozzles, CNG hose size length , CNG injector nozzle size etc can make a big difference in performance of the car on CNG.

One should ensure that while calibrating the car, the installer takes interest to match the petrol fuel trims and CNG fuel trims using an OBD2 scanner or has his CNG software showing these fuel trims which enables him to tune the car properly. This would also require some experience from the tuner as he needs to drive and see whether the entire MAP is covered in this way. This ensures that there are no MIL lamps on the car while running due to Rich or lean fuel trims.

CNG fuel burns slower compared to petrol and thus the power delivery from the engine maybe slower. In some cars – specially older or un-maintained cars, it may be necessary to improve the spark of the car by way of changing to a good quality spark plugs which increase the quantum of the spark or timing advancer engine is running on CNG to make the Gas Fuel / Air mixture ignite fully in one cycle , thus produce optimum power and greater mileage.

EuropeGAS has one such Dynamic Timing Advance processors which is programmable and can set up different timing advance degrees at different engine loads based upon the car’s RPM, Throttle position and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) to get unmatched performance on CNG. While in static advancers one can only set one type of degree advance via a combination of micro switch, one can see all parameters of the car in the software and can graphically see the load map of the vehicle and pinpoint the desired degree advance at the desired level for maximum efficiency and performance.

This system also enables one system to use in different cars having both Inductive or Digital type of Crankshaft Position Sensor or Camshaft Position sensors and has the ability to scan the car’s sensor signal wave for proper set up and functioning on the car while it runs on CNG – hence a boon for all cars converted to CNG. It also negates a chances of Check Engine light (MIL) owing to the Timing advance using this system.

One can also advance the vehicle on CNG using an injection order advance a unique feature available in our CNG ECU’s where it’s not possible to advance timing of vehicle using a CKP or CMP sensor of the car. This feature also vastly improves the drivability of the car and increase CNG car pickup. An increase in fuel efficiency would also be noted using this feature.

How to increase average of CNG car ?

Often CNG car owners are worried about getting a very poor average from their CNG kit. As a thumb rule, one can expect 40-50% increase in efficiency per KG of CNG compared to a litre of Gasoline – so if your car returns an efficiency of 10 km to a litre, you can expect 14-15 kms to a KG of CNG depending upon what technology (venturi or sequential ) you are using. Roughly we can say 1 kg of CNG gives about 1.5 times mileage the mileage of a petrol car.

Some main tips to increase average of a CNG car :-

1) Keep the car air filter clean and if possible replace every 5000 km. CNG is lighter than air, cleaner the air filter, your air fuel ratio would always remain stoichiometric (ideal) to ensure good efficiency. It fits into the car’s original air filter box and no modifications is required to install it.

2) Replace Spark plugs every 15000-20000 kms. CNG’s ignition temperature is much higher compared to Petrol and a much stronger spark is needed to ignite CNG – even though the spark may be good enough to ignite Petrol it does not mean that it would ignite CNG as well – so one should ensure a good set of plugs (never change 1 plug) and ensure same code of spark plug as prescribed by the car manufacturer with same heat range. Good spark ensures that the gas fuel air mixture is ignited fully in the engine ensuring that no fuel is left unburnt resulting in higher CNG kit mileage.

3) HT leads and Ignition Coil should be in top condition to ensure strong sparks to ignite the Gas-Air mixture fully in the combustion chamber of the car which would help increase CNG kit mileage. A weak coil or lead can result in poor ignition, jerks and thus poor efficiency from the engine.

4) Get Ignition Timing and Valve clearances adjusted every 40000 km for best efficiency as most CNG cars get valve clearances affected with long term use which can deteriorate the engine power and reduce pick up and engine efficiency. Its advisable to use a valve saver fluid like JLM for engine protection and higher mileage.

5) Proper Tyre pressure in all four tyres ensures that there is no additional load to the vehicle movement. Always keep tyres inflated as per the manufacturer’s specs and check your tyre pressure in cold condition and not after a drive.

6) Getting a good calibration and tune-up /tuning of CNG kit is of prime importance to ensure that you get good efficiency from the CNG driven vehicle if all other parameters are in good order. Often installers calibrate ignoring the vehicle’s OBD fuel trims which is a very important factor helping to calibrate the car on alternate fuel for best efficiency, higher pick-up, bringing up MIL lamp for fuel trim mismatch and lower emissions.

8) Check for Gas leakages which can result in lower mileage from the vehicle and is the simplest remedy in most cases. Often micro leaks get un-detected with the normal soap solution (LIQUIS NO SOAP POWDER) based leakage checks thus resulting in very small amounts of gas being leaked all the time lowering the mileage and also causes a big threat to your safety. Ensure that your CNG kit is 100% leak proof.

System Too Lean: Causes, Symptoms, and Troubleshooting of a Lean Fuel Mixture

A rich fuel mixture means that there is more fuel than air in the mixture, which can cause incomplete combustion, increased emissions, and reduced fuel economy. A lean fuel mixture means that there is less fuel than air in the mixture, which can cause poor engine performance, damage, and even failure. In this article, we will focus on the concept of a lean fuel mixture, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, resolution, and prevention.
