We install an additional gas tank on the Niva

Practical experience and common sense indicate that the following tanks are most common:

• 40.
• 50.
• 60.
• 70 liters.

Based on these parameters, you can judge the dimensions and approximate characteristics of the vehicle. There is no point in equipping a subcompact VW Beetle with large “reservoirs”, so usually their capacity does not exceed 30 liters. 50-60 liters is a fairly average and widespread figure. A capacity of 70 liters is less common, but it speaks about the car most eloquently. What is the consumption on the Niva 2131 and how does this relate to the fuel storage? Let us consider this issue in as much detail as possible and from different angles.

The fuel tank volume of the VAZ Niva 2121 three-door and five-door 2131 is 65 liters.

For those who are especially gifted, I can recommend reading the technical description of the Niva 2121 and other modifications, their tank capacity is 42 liters.

42 liters - tank volume! It can't be 65

VAZ 21312 - (my car...) - has 65 liters.

three-door "shorty" 42 l five-door 2131 "crocodile" 65 l

Based on the gasoline consumption data for 4 trim levels of 2121 Niva (4x4), we calculate gas consumption. Let's calculate how much cheaper gas filling is. How many kilometers will a 2121 Niva travel without refueling?

Location and elements

The tank is installed near the radiator so that the middle of the expander is located near the top edge. The devices are connected by a hose, creating a system of communicating vessels. This allows you to control the filling of the system with water in liquid and gaseous states.

The design itself is a plastic container with a pressure sensor. The expander is hermetically sealed with a lid with a pressure control valve. If the system overheats and the amount of steam does not fit in the tank, the valve in the lid releases the excess. Therefore, sometimes the car boils and clouds of steam begin to escape from the hood.

Propane consumption, savings

Compressed natural gas is consumed in city mode at the speed of gasoline, and on the highway it is 20% slower. CNG is cheaper than LPG by one and a half to two rubles per liter.

Connection features

The first thing you should arm yourself with is a high-quality wiring diagram for the Niva 21213. It is shown in the photo below. Firstly, such a diagram is useful for maintenance, and secondly, with its help it is easy to determine the location for connecting the wiring harness.

The second important point is the frequency of use of the chandelier:

1. Constantly, including traffic in urban environments;
2. Only when driving outside urban and suburban highways (off-road). And here a proven diagram is absolutely necessary for an off-road vehicle.

The chandelier control output can be connected to a standard switch

The most preferable is the removable option, which provides for quick installation and dismantling of the chandelier, as well as its safe connection to the standard electrical wiring. The video in the article clearly demonstrates this process. Connection instructions are presented above.

But what you should pay attention to is the adjustment of the light flux. The fact is that when driving off-road, the hood of a car is often covered with dirt, which in the dark glares in the headlights, blinding the driver.

Therefore, there are 2 options:

• Install a special sun visor above the windshield;
• Move the chandelier back so that the edge of the light stream does not fall on the hood of the car.

Proper installation of the chandelier prevents glare

Examples of savings in Moscow

For example, let's calculate two distances:

1. From Red Square to the Moscow Ring Road and back in Moscow 50 km. How much gas does one save per month of such trips?
2. From Moscow to Sochi - 1600 km. How much cheaper will it be to fill up with gas?

Carburetor engine fuel system

(Fuel injection system)

Diagram of a power system with two fuel tanks (Niva with a long wheelbase)

The fuel supply is located in a tank located under the rear seat and covered with a metal casing. The tank is stamped from leaded steel sheet, its upper and lower halves are welded together. The filler neck is connected to the tank by two hoses; The lower (thick) hose is used to fill fuel, the upper (thin) hose is used to remove displaced air during refueling.

The hoses are fixed with clamps. The tank plug is sealed. On each side in the upper part of the tank, fittings extend from it, onto which thin plastic tubes for ventilation of the tank are placed. They are connected to a separator, which, in turn, communicates with the atmosphere through a tube exiting near the filler neck. On vehicles with a toxicity reduction system, the separator is connected by hoses and pipelines to the adsorber in the engine compartment. The design and operation of this system are described in the section Fuel system (injection).

Mileage without refueling before installing LPG

Let's look at the size of the VAZ 2121 Niva fuel tank (4x4) for gasoline and the most common size of the installed gas cylinder.

Gas Performance Benefits

IN COMBINATION, THESE FACTORS EXTEND THE ENGINE LIFE BY

Gas extends the life of oil and spark plugs and reduces vehicle maintenance costs.

Gas burns a little slower than gasoline, which reduces the load on the piston group and crankshaft, causing the engine to run smoother.

The gas mixes easily with air and fills the cylinders more evenly with a homogeneous mixture, so the engine runs smoother and quieter. The gas mixture burns almost completely, so no carbon deposits form in the pistons, valves and spark plugs.

The octane number of petroleum gas is 103-105, which virtually eliminates detonation of engine parts. This advantage of gas can be especially important for engines with a high compression ratio that consume high-octane (and therefore expensive) gasoline.

The gas does not contain harmful impurities (lead, sulfur), which at the chemical level destroy the combustion chamber parts, catalytic converter and lambda probe.

The gas enters the engine in the vapor phase, so it does not wash away the oil film from the walls and does not dilute the oil in the crankcase.

Having extensive experience in operating gas equipment (this is already the 4th gas-powered car!), I can confidently say that AGTS specialists are the best professionals in converting cars to gas in St. Petersburg. no less than 100 percent. The feeling is super, if you have any doubts, I highly recommend it.

This is the second time I've come here. Hyundai Accent is my second car and, accordingly, my second LPG. Just like the first time, I installed Italian equipment from Lovato. It seems to me that it is the best. At least it’s very easy to set up, which can’t be said about other systems. And stability in operation: the settings are the same as they are. In total, I have been using HBO for 4 years now, and no problems. The most important thing is to regularly visit maintenance and immediately correct errors if something is wrong.

For me, LPG is no longer new - I’ve been driving gas for almost 10 years, and I install it on every new car. I think it’s not worth describing all the delights of the equipment, and a lot of things have already been told without me. I’ll tell you better how the installation of gas equipment in the AGTS went. I made an appointment with the guys a week in advance, arrived at the appointed time, and they were already waiting for me. The box is large and well equipped. Two people are allocated for each car, everything is done quickly and smoothly. I stood there, watching them. It is immediately clear that the team has worked well together. One installs the wiring, the other connects the cylinder. It’s obvious that they know their job here: every car is there – and on the day I arrived, it was sold out. Everyone is busy, there is no unnecessary talk, just business. At this rate, they installed the HBO for me for about two hours, probably, then one worker explained how it works, what is connected to what, etc. That is, in addition to the fact that they quickly installed it, they also gave instructions on how to use it and what to do if something goes wrong. This, it seems to me, is just great for those who are encountering HBO for the first time. And I, an experienced gas driver, was pleased to listen) In general, I recommend it!

Possible error codes for viburnum

What error codes exist for VAZ Kalina?

1. The highest voltage on-board network of the machine.
2. Fuel sensor error (for example, within 20 seconds it was detected that the circuit was broken).
3. Coolant temperature sensor error.
4. The motor is overheated.
5. Oil pressure is in poor condition.
6. The brake system has broken down.
7. Battery low.

What should I do to troubleshoot? You should hold down the key and turn on the ignition, but do not start the car. The arrows on the dashboard will move and the lights will turn on. After this, you need to press one of the keys on the switch, which is located under the steering wheel. Then the arrows will be at the initial position, and errors will be shown on the display.

Let's give advice to those who buy a used VAZ car - most drivers don't even think about the fact that there is an option for diagnosing and resetting Lada Kalina errors.

And therefore, before buying a VAZ, you should run this option to find out everything about the past of the car you are purchasing.

The modern automotive industry is a very developed industry; it is almost always an excellent assistant to any car owner.

This does not depend on the make of the car; the presence of BC is an excellent feature of almost any car produced over the last ten years. A similar system is no exception for VAZ. Many people know what an on-board computer is, but not everyone knows how to evaluate errors that have occurred and determine their significance. Let's look at the above errors.

It should be noted that many of the errors characteristic of VAZ are understandable. For example, a temperature sensor error, the BC can issue it when the motor is cooled. But it happens that the computer gives an error falsely.

Also interesting: How to remove and replace the Niva Chevrolet cooling radiator: video

For example, once the motor was overheated, the computer suddenly notifies about the error, even if there is none. That is, errors can occur if the BC remembers information about an overheated motor.

And therefore, when this problem has been fixed, it is better to reset all BC readings.

And to fix it, you should press the Reset key - it is located under the control buttons of the on-board computer. But if the faults are not identified, you need to ask a professional for help. You should also pay special attention to the errors of the machine's bookkeeping system if it has already been used and was purchased secondhand.

Basic faults

Despite its simple design, the device can be damaged.
The pressure valve may become damaged, requiring replacement. Driving in hot weather causes the engine to heat up. If the pressure valve is damaged, the reservoir will burst and leak.

Sometimes it simply bursts due to excess water vapor.

The factory-installed tank lasts for 1–2 years with high vehicle loads in warm weather. Some devices last up to 5 years, but this is usually due to infrequent travel. You can increase the service life with careful handling.
