Preface
Thank you for purchasing pride vehicle equipped with CNG system. Your choice is not only optimum use of country’s
energy resources but also protects environment resources, supports the reduction of pollution and fuel consumption
significantly.
Please review owner manual prior driving the vehicle. This manual includes the adequate and beneficial information
regarding the method of driving the vehicle and also acquaints you with the vehicle equipment. The owner manual also
includes vehicle CNG system maintenance, services and safety factors.
Note:
Refer to nearest authorized dealership for maintenance and services. The vehicle should not be repaired by unauthor-
ized and unskilled person.
Note:
You should not use and install parts and equipment which are not confirmed by authorized agents and also you should
not service the vehicle in unauthorized agents, because the followings not only contravene the validity and terms of the
vehicle guaranty, but also reduce the passengers’ safety.

CNG Introduction
The natural gas which is mainly composed by methane (CH4) is a substitute for gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel used in
vehicles. It is considered to be an environmentally clean fossil fuel alternative to those fuels. The natural gas dose not
contains cancerous particles of carbon black (soot), lead and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene. The benzene
is reduced by 99% in NGV (Natural Gas Vehicle) compare to petrol-powered vehicle and the pollutants’ range of petrol-
powered vehicle exhaust’s emissions are more than NGV.
The research of NGVs’(Natural gas vehicles) effects on global warming (as the global warming is depending on the
vehicle condition) indicated that NGVs reduces 17% global warming in complete fuel cycle.
The NGVs are practically compatible and congruous with urban environment because the emissions through exhaust
pipes are within the determined and allowable range of the vehicles’ pollutants. Due to NG being the most environmen-
tally-friendly fuel and proved nature of reducing pollution particularities many countries apply subside to NGVs.
NGV consume the same gas as used in the offices and houses for heating systems, kitchen and so on. NG supplies
as compressed or liquid form for vehicles. NGVs are cleaner, safer and less noisy (the NG heavy duty engine vehicle
noise level is the same as a light duty diesel engine vehicle). Compressed natural gas (CNG) is less dangerous than 6
liquid fuels such as petrol, gasoline and liquid gas because is thinner than air and in case of a leak it is dispersed into
the atmosphere with no harm to the environment. Also, CNG is less inflammable. Natural gas transfers by pipe line, so
no fuel tanker danger involved and also no LPG transport limitation is required.
The catalytic converters used in the vehicle exhaust system are causing the reduction of pollutants in vehicle exhaust’s
emissions such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxide. The NGV emit less carbon dioxide than petrol-
powered vehicles. NGVs have pollutions advantages.

CNG introduction
Research and test results on two similar vehicles’ exhaust emission under different driving conditions in the world, one
petrol-powered vehicle and other one NG vehicle indicates that the pollutants emission from the NGV is less as illus-
trated in the graph above without replacing the exhaust catalytic converters.
6 Using NG will results no pollutants such as soot, and suspended particles in the air which causes lung troubles and
allergy such as asthma.
One of the particular advantages of NGV compare to petrol or diesel-powered vehicle is producing less noise. Another
advantage is less explosion probability in vehicle accident because NG is thinner than air and in case of a leak it is
dispersed into the atmosphere with no harm to the environment. Normally NG pressurized canisters with 200 bar are
installed in the vehicles. The different volume and required number canister (tank) depending upon the vehicle engine
weight, size and volume are installed on the vehicles. A petrol tank in addition to the NG canister is installed on the bi-
fuel-powered vehicles, so the NGV travels more than petrol-powered vehicles.

Safety Points and Necessities
Note: If there were any gas smell, the vehicle door must be opened with extensive cares because the doors switches
and related lights or battery disconnection may result in sparks.
- It is recommended to use anti freeze in all seasons, otherwise the CNG system and the engine parts and components
may damage.
6
b) Safety factors during fuel charge
- The engine must be turned off before charging.
- The driver should come out of the vehicle and allow the operator to charge the gas.
- The driver should make sure that the filler valve is closed.
125
Safety Points and Necessities
The followings are some of the problems which can be identified by the driver:
a) Safety points about high pressure gas pipes, filler caps and fittings
The driver must review the information quoted on the label near filler. The information is:
- Gas type which is CNG
- Tank expiry date
- System service pressure
In case of damages in fuel pipes, consult to authorized agent for replacement. (Repairing the damaged fuel pipe is
forbidden)
Refer to the nearest authorized agent if either of the followings are observed on high pressure pipes and fittings:
- In case of any corrosion, erosion, wears and damages due to impact on the tank fitting and other high pressure fit-
tings.
- In case of tank bolts atrophy due to tension, cracks on tank body, room or tank’s frame metals erosion and…
- In case of erosion, twisting and damaging of gas pipe cover and flexible hoses.
The aforesaid points are controlled once a year by authorized agents.
6 To prevent dust or liquid or other external particles penetration into the tank, the filler valve cap must be fastened on its
place after fuel charging. Regarding to the above points, the following about the gas discharging security instrument,
must be controlled periodically:
Any operation which generates heats such as welding that are performed near the high pressure pipe and fittings must
not increase the high pressure pipes and fittings temperature higher than the surrounding temperature; otherwise the
insulation cover must be used.
Refer to the nearest authorized agent in case of observing any cracks or holes on the plastic pipes. If the vehicle is not
going to use CNG for long time under any reason, the CNG system main shut off valve must be turned off. To prevent
gas accumulation as the result of gas pipe damages such as rupture or bend, the gas flew of each tank must be com-
pletely stopped by shutting off individual tank valve.
126
Safety Points and Necessities
127
Safety Points and Necessities
- In case of any looseness in the solenoid valve connection or other fittings of gas pipes and hoses, refer to the nearest
authorized agent.
128
Safety Points and Necessities
- The fuel pipes and drain pipes must be firmly connected and fitted on the vehicle.
- The rubber washer under the straps must not be twist or deformed and they should be fitted properly on their places.
- consult to the authorized agent if the valve or safety connecting pipes or pressure discharging device or tank is dam-
aged.
- If you sniffed gas smell around the tank or gas pipe, refer to the authorized agent for checking.
- The tank surface must be completely smooth and there should be no dip on it.
- Files must not be used to remove rust on tank surface.
- Never pour acidic liquid on the tank surface because they damage the paint and consequently the metallic tank will
erode and the composite tank resin will be damaged.
- Although there is a carpet in the trunk, be careful when carrying acidic materials not to damage the tanks.
129
Vehicle Maintenance and Inspection
130
CNG System Repairs
The above points should be performed by authorized agent of SAIPA YADAK Company not by the owner.
131
Primary System Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Inspect the followings if the automobile does not work under CNG status:
- Whether there is enough gas in the CNG tank?
- Whether there is enough petrol for starting up in petrol status?
- Whether the fuses are intact?
- Avoid applying fuses except for items recommended, because this will result in conking out of ECU.
- In case of any failure in the gas combustion system while driving, inspect whether such failure occurs in petrol com-
bustion status.
- If all above points was controlled and there were still any defect, consult just with the authorized agent and do not
repair the defect yourself or unauthorized agents because this will result to invalidity of the guarantee.
132
Periodic Service
Note
The gas tank life time is 15 years and after this time they should be replaced.
6
Note
It is necessary to use tires with 40 psi (equal to 275kpa) maximum tolerable pressure for bi-fuel-powered vehicle.
