FUEL CONSUMPTION
LPG has a lower energy value per volume unit than petrol. Therefore the consumption when using LPG
will be approximately 15-25% (depends on the ratio of propane to butane of the LPG you have
refuelled with) higher than the consumption you are used to get with petrol.
SAFETY ASPECTS
Disassembly of parts/system
Do not attempt under any circumstances to disconnect or disassemble LPG system components. The
system is pressurized and contains liquid gas. You run the risk of serious burns when doing this. Only
have an approved Prins dealer remove or repair the system.
Gas leakage
If you can smell LPG, switch back to petrol and contact an approved Prins dealer immediately.
Fire
In the case of a fire, leave the vehicle and take distance. The LPG tank is equipped with a safety valve
that allows the LPG to escape from the tank in case of abnormal pressures inside this tank. Thanks to this
device it is impossible for the LPG tank to explode. Always inform the emergency services that you have
a LPG system in the vehicle.
MAINTENANCE
When you drive on LPG, maintaining your car is even more important than when using petrol. Since the
specifications of LPG differ from those of petrol, minor engine problems which won't disturb the driving
comfort while using petrol, may cause major problems while using LPG. Follow the maintenance
instructions in order to use LPG without any problem.
General maintenance to the car regarding spark plugs, spark plug cables, ignition circuit,
valves, etc., has to be carried out according to the instructions of the car manufacturer.
Proof of maintenance according to the guidelines of the importer is obligatory (completely
filled in maintenance booklet).
Maintenance has to be carried out by a dealer authorised by the importer.
Adjustments and repairs on your Prins LPG system should only be carried out by a dealer
authorised by Prins.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your car won't run on LPG, follow the next checklist:
Is there enough LPG in the tank?
Is there enough petrol in the tank for starting on petrol?
Is a fuse in the SilverLine-2.0 LPG system defective (near LPG computer)?
Never use a heavier fuse than indicated on the fuse wire. This may cause damage to the system.
If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please contact your Prins dealer. Do not carry out any repairs
or readjustments yourself, but have this done by an authorised Prins Dealer, Otherwise, the warranty
on your Prins SilverLine-2.0 LPG system will no longer be valid.
