When the background is H2, then we use the sample, span, and zero gases as fuel and the N2 connecting to the fuel port to dilute the H2. It is always necessary to Recalibrate / Re-standardize the analyzer when the fuel or air supply gases are changed. Refer to your manual for specifics.

Shop air has oxygen and when exposed to petroleum based fluids or grease, can diesel (explode) under pressure. Pure oxygen is even more volatile. Other gases are expensive, corrosive or explosive. There are several grades of nitrogen gas available. For use in bladder accumulators, we recommend Commercial/Industrial Grade. This is the most common grade available and the most cost effective. It has been used with bladder accumulators for over 50 years. The average purity is 99.5%.

The fuel gas section of this web site contains design guide information for industry professionals interested in using copper tubing for fuel gas systems. Please check out this information by clicking on the Fuel Gas Design Menu link on the right hand side. Design guides and data sheets are available electronically on the web site or in printed form. Please be sure to check out these and the other information and assistance available from CDA to help you in the use of copper.

We recommend a high-quality, brand name fuel made especially for cars. Model fuels for airplanes or helicopters will not work properly and will ruin your engine. HPI Power Fuel is available in both quart and gallon sizes for the hobbyist (in 20% nitro content) or the serious racer (30% nitro content). See our Nitro Option Parts page for part numbers of HPI Power Fuel.

With the exception of the outdoorsman model which can run from a 20 lb tank, the indoor gas heaters require a 100 lb because of the speed at which the gas flows to the heater. The faster the propane flow the colder the propane gets (experience this by blowing air gently from your mouth to your hands, then blow some air as hard as you can into your hands - the faster moving air is colder than the slower moving air).

All Sierra flow meters are calibrated with N2 unless otherwise specified. The reason is the “K-Factor” for other gases is nearly linear when one goes from N2 to almost any other gas. Other gases scale the signal and generate a slight offset. For each type of gas, this effect can be calculated and compensated by using a relatively simple "K-Factor".

Copper Development Association Inc. is a not-for-profit trade association representing the U.S. copper, brass, and bronze industry, and as such does not sell or distribute product. However, the copper tube that you are looking for can be purchased at any local plumbing, heating or refrigeration supply shop in your area. For contact information of manufacturers of copper tube and fittings, please visit TPF Council page.

CDA has a sizing calculator that simplifies sizing copper tubing for any fuel gas distributions system. Design information is available at our Web site and is also available in publication form. Please be sure to check out these and the other information and assistance available from CDA to help you in the use of copper. If there is anything further we can do, please do not hesitate to email us.

The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1) and all of the major model building codes have approved copper for the use in fuel gas systems. In fact, in states like Minnesota, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, etc, copper is the dominant, if not the primary choice, for flexible fuel gas piping systems in homes and multi-family units. IAPMO approved copper for use with fuel gas in 1999 - you may want to read the announcement.

The installation of fuel gas systems in Massachusetts is governed by the 248 CMR Massachusetts State Plumbing and Gas Fitting Code in which unlined copper tube is not permitted for natural gas transmission or distribution. Although the code references the allowable use of tin lined copper tube for fuel gas applications. 248CMR also references NFPA 54, which is the National Fuel Gas Code and this code does allow the use of copper tube for fuel gas if the gas supplied contains less than 0.

Any fuel gas lines installed using copper tube must be brazed using a filler metal containing less than 0.05% P (phosphorus) and a melting temperature greater than 1000 degrees F. The only filler metal (trade and industry standard) that contains less than the 0.05% P would be an AWS BAg type alloy (according to the American Welding Society’s AWS A5.8 specification). In no case should solder or “soft-solder” be used to join copper tube and fittings in fuel gas systems.

Natural Gas decreases our reliance on foreign fuel sources (97% of the natural gas used in the US comes from North America)

Pretty much like you fuel a car or truck. The fueling station and dispenser looks about the same as a “normal” station. The nozzle and receptacle are a bit different but an NGV is just as easy to fuel and fuels up in about the same amount of time.

The choice is ultimately yours. The latest engine management systems and unleaded petrol fuel injected engines lend themselves well to dual fuel operation giving similar engine performance whether driven in AutoGas mode or petrol mode. Torque remains the same, or in some cases increases with AutoGas usage. There may be a slight drop in power (3% to 5% maximum) although this is not noticeable under normal driving conditions.

Volkswagen claims that the V-10 TDI Touareg will get 28.8 MPG "extra-urban" and 23.2 MPG "combined" according to UK figures. owner of a V-10 TDI Touareg in Florida reports a running average of 19.7 MPG in mixed driving and 28.5 MPG at a constant 50 MPH.

That said, on average, Touareg owners have reported about 14 MPG for the V8 in mixed driving. Average in-town mileage for the V8 appears to be about 12. The average reported highway mileage for the V8 is about 18. We have received a report from a V6 Touareg owner who has averaged 14.5 MPG in mixed driving during the first 800 miles.

To heat the air, the burners are fueled by propane gas, much the same as you probably use in your backyard barbecue grill. The burners do not run continuously; they are only used intermittently to heat the air to maintain the required lift.
