Why Need to Switch to Fuel Gas

The Government will encourage the conversion of fuel into the fuel gas on a four wheeler.The move is an effort to suppress the government's subsidized fuel consumption so as not to miss quota of the State Budget of 2012. 
 
 ReforMiner Institute Institute for the study of energy states, the conversion is appropriate because it could mnghemat fuel subsidies.ReforMiner study results, as quoted from the official website VIVAnews.com, gas fuel not only can save subsidies, but it could push up the price cheaper than the current premium. Only, every vehicle needs a tool converting from gasoline to CNG (converter kits). ReforMiner calculations, if within one year of subsidized consumption of 23.19 million KL Premium with Premium economical price Rp 6,500 per liter, then the government will cost Rp 150.73 trillion. 
 
 Meanwhile, if using Premium fuel gas substitute, the government only takes Rp 83.48 trillion, assuming a gas price of Rp 3,600 per liter equivalent premium (LSP). "The value of the savings could reach Rp 67.25 trillion per year," the report ReforMiner. 
 
 Even when using the assumption of CNG prices without taxes, Rp 2652 per LSP, the government could save more, Rp 91.32 trillion. This is because it cost only Rp 59.41 trillion.Likewise, Solar, when converted, the government could save Rp 51.51 trillion (CNG without tax) and Rp 37.94 trillion (BBG taxed). This by using the assumption of volume of subsidized consumption 13.08 million KL Solar, Solar economical price of Rp 6,500 per liter, the cost of Rp 85.02 trillion Solar procurement, and manufacturing cost of Rp 33.51 trillion BBG (not taxed) and Rp 47.08 trillion (* with tax).
 
 Why is CNG cheaper?ReforMiner states, pngembangan BBG in Indonesia will be more efficient than the manufacture of fuel oil is still widely imported. Indonesia benefited by the number of gas reserves, so the cost of providing CNG is much cheaper than gasoline. In addition, the more important is the issue of environmentally friendly energy. 
 
 With development costs are relatively inexpensive, ReforMiner sure, the price of CNG is cheaper than Premium. 
 
 The observer of energy who is also Director of the Center for Petroleum and Energy Economics Studies, Kurtubi, said that if you want to lose weight fuel subsidies, the government should learn from previous policy when implementing energy conversion.According to Kurtubi, before the LPG conversion done in 2007, subsidized kerosene is the largest compared to Premium and Solar. In fact, through conversion, petroleum consumption dropped, and the subsidy itself is also reduced drastically. 
 
 The government can actually do the conversion to CNG and Diesel Premium. Therefore, the use of CNG has been tested on the Bus Transjakarta, Bajaj, and the number of taxis."Bajaj can, the private car can not?" he said, some time ago. 
 
 According to Kurtubi, the cost of CNG conversion is not much when dibadingkan with fuel subsidies should be issued by the government each year. 
 
Early stage, the government could require all the red plate car and public transport in Jakarta and surrounding areas to switch to CNG. The trick, the government accelerate the development of floating LNG tanks (LNG receiving terminal) in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta. Once completed, the government put the pipe into the pool of Tanjung Priok taxi, bus, and Bajaj. "The construction of gas pipeline cost is not much different from the water pipe," he said. 
 
 In addition to building the pipeline, the government must also provide a tool mounted CNG converters on each vehicle. "It's like giving a stove and LPG cylinder to the community." 
 
 When the red plate vehicles and yellow plates, plates of vehicles requiring the government to stay black. While waiting for requiring private vehicles, the government could facilitate the construction of CNG filling stations. "Any gas station that still have vacant land shall construct SPBBG," he said. "When you walk, Premium and Diesel consumption will further decline, such as kerosene consumption. Subsidies would be much reduced."Work Process Fuel GasThe process of working on the motor fuel gasoline Kanzen Hybrid is the same as the motor work with other carburetor system. However Kanzen also developed a technology called Evapurator. Which technology to reduce levels of stress generated by the gas earlier. Because LPG gas pressure coming out of the tube does not necessarily be directly processed and consumed in the carburetor.Well evapurator used in it, there are several parts to reduce levels of liquid gas pressure had become smaller. But most important is the process of mixing air with liquid gas to be supplied to the carburetor."We can not provide complete information to be broadcast through the media about this technology. Because it is still in the process of development. What is clear after the exit of evapurator earlier, the emphasis has changed to 0.5 bar and still through this instrument before it flows into the carburetor, "said Chris Andri Tjahyono KMI as a product engineer.Switcher ManualUnlike the hybrid technology that is able to switch power sources automatically, at Kanzen Hybrid motor is done manually switch process. Switcher his own lie just below the right side of the steering handlebars attached to the chest behind the motor. May still be a hassle for riders to do so before, but this is still a prototype that is still possible to change.Safety SystemThe problem that always haunts many people now see the gas tube located directly below the driver's seat, is the safety factor. Moreover, the tube is just above the engine, and it will be very susceptible to the condition of the heat generated by the engine. "On the contrary, the fuel gas contained here will not be consumed even if the conditions are cold. Because the liquid gas will be frozen. Not to mention when CNG is used, it tends to cool the tube condition. Now the condition of the engine heat is what will keep the temperature of the tubes remain stable in order not to be frozen liquid gas, "explains Chris."Dealing with the problem of safety for motor third prototype, we've made the frame buffer and a special lock so that the tubes remain secure. And to prove this fall we did a test on the motor. Tube condition and the results are not experiencing any case, "said Nono Sumarno as Product Design KMI.In addition to the tube frame and temperature conditions, the hose used to drain the gas can not use the gas cylinder hose and home industries. Because these types of hoses can not last long, and even tend to swell and eventually rupture and brittle to make the gas runs out it's useless. It is therefore advisable to use a standard automotive hose with ECE code 110.Because the motor is still a prototype of a hybrid motor that will be issued by the IMA, the body design would not be as it looks now. Because the concentration of the IMA was still with the development of hybrid technology on their motorcycles.
