CNG Dodge Caravan

2008-06-04T08:34:00.000-07:00

Chrysler Corp. sold versions of the 1995 Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, and Caravan cargo minivans that run on compressed natural gas. They are certified as one of the "world's cleanest internal-combustion vehicles" by the state of California, which said the minivans meet its tough standard for ultra-low-emission vehicles (ULEVs). The vehicles store the equivalent of 8.2 gallons of gasoline in their four underside tanks. The range is 160 to 180 miles, and the extra cost is about $5,000 over the regular vehicle price.

In 1992, Dodge introduced a full-sized van that ran on compressed natural gas. Two years later, in 1994, Chrysler’s compressed natural gas (CNG) minivan was first brought out; all three short-wheelbase minivans could be purchased with a CNG 3.3 L OHV SMPI V-6 engine and 41TE electronically controlled four-speed overdrive transaxle. Operating cost with CNG was less than with gasoline, and emissions were far lower as well. The engine and fuel system were developed by Chrysler engineers and the vehicles were assembled by Chrysler. Warranty coverage on the vehicle and fuel system was the same as on gasoline engine vehicles.

Fuel economy with CNG is roughly equivalent to that provided by gasoline on a energy content basis. Power is reduced approximately 15% from gasoline-fuel levels because CNG displaces more air in the cylinders, reducing volumetric efficiency.

The CNG fuel injection system used sequential multi-point injection (SMPI), a major step forward in responsiveness, performance and emission control compared to aftermarket conversions. Injectors and fuel rails were given a much higher flow capacity than gasoline injectors because of the lower energy content in CNG; the separate electronic injector-driver module was required to operate the high flow injectors. The control system included sensors for both fuel temperature and pressure to provide a correct basis for fuel flow; an oxygen sensor fine-tuned the fuel mixture. A specially formulated three-way catalyst assured extremely low emissions. Test procedures were inadequate to accurately measure the emissions from these vehicles, but they were the lowest emission levels of any vehicles available to the public at the time.

Fuel was stored in four glass and epoxy-wrapped aluminum cylinders. When filled at 3000 psi they held the equivalent of 8.5 gallons of gasoline. Two tanks were under the floor, replacing the gasoline tank. The other tanks took the place normally occupied by the spare tire. The spare was stored inside the vehicle. Fuel was supplied to the engine by pressure in the tanks, rather than by a pump. A regulator at the tank maintained a constant operating pressure. There was no return line from the engine to the tank.

The cylinders were recharged at a CNG refueling station through a quick connect coupling. At a quick-fill station this takes about five minutes. Slow refilling at a fleet garage could be done over night. A home refueling unit was also available. A conventional fuel gauge on the instrument panel sensed the amount of fuel remaining in the tanks by measuring its pressure. Regardless of the refueling system used, no evaporation or loss of fuel occurred.

To maintain durability with CNG, different materials were required for valves, valve stem seals and valve seat inserts.

Additional safety features included both ignition-activated and manual gas shutoff valves, back flow check valves in the refueling circuit, armored stainless steel fuel lines and fuel cylinders that meet rigid Department of Transportation requirements. Valve placement and mounting was designed to avoid damage in a collision.

The CNG minivans ran for a long time, albeit in small quantities each year. The first minivans to be certified as Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles in California, their production was apparently constrained partly by problems with getting sufficient supplies of tanks and other parts. In 1997 and 1998, Chrysler dropped entirely out of CNG vehicle production.

Root Beer

2007-06-11T07:33:00.000-07:00

Well I found way to make Root Beer in a 2 liter bottle and its not to bad. Give it a try if you want and let me know what you think of it.

"Root Beer in a bootle”

Things you need:
clean 2 liter plastic soft drink bottle with cap
funnel
1 cup measuring cup
1/4 tsp measuring spoon
1 Tbl measuring spoon
cane (table) sugar [sucrose] (1 cup)
Zatarain's Root Beer Extract (1 tablespoon)
powdered baker's yeast (1/4 teaspoon) (Yeast for brewing would certainly work at least as well as baking yeast.)
cold fresh water

1.Using a clean bottle and a dry funnel, add the ingredients in sequence as stated in the steps that follow. First add a level cup of table sugar, (or cane sugar). Adjust the amount to achieve the desired sweetness.
2.Yeast on sugar
Measure out 1/4 teaspoon powdered baker's yeast, and place in the funnel. The yeast should be fresh and active, and any brand that is available will work.
3.Shake well to make sure that the yeast grains are distributed evenly into the sugar.
4.Swirl the sugar/yeast mixture in the bottom in order to make it concave and enable it to catch the extract in the middle.
5.Replace the funnel, and add 1 Tbsp of root beer extract on top of the dry sugar.
Notice how the extract sticks to the sugar. This will help dissolve the extract as seen in the next few steps .
6.Fill the bottle halfway with fresh cool tap water that has only a little chlorine. Pour through the funnel and use this opportunity to rinse extract stuck to the funnel and tablespoon. Swirl to dissolve the ingredients.
7.Fill the bottle to the neck, this time with fresh water, leaving only about an inch (2.54cm) of head space. Securely screw the cap so as to seal the bottle. Invert repeatedly to thoroughly dissolve the contents.
8.Place the sealed bottle at room temperature for about three or four days until the bottle feels hard to a forceful squeeze. Then move it to a cool place (below 65 F (18 C)). Refrigerate overnight to thoroughly chill before serving. Crack the lid of the bottle just a little to release the pressure slowly.

Well I had to share this...

This is the internet connection I get from my work computer.

its only faster then 99% of the avg. users speed. :P

Well I got some time to work on the car and...

2007-05-01T13:41:00.000-07:00

the Cleggs says the head is fine just sand the bolt "groves" smooth. so a litle time with the derimal and some sand paper later, it looks great..

now comes the wait for the the head gasket to get here, and the total price at this point in time to fix it is 88.27

The sound of ....

2007-04-25T10:58:00.000-07:00

If you ever wanted to know what is sounds like when a bolt gets into your freshly rebuilt, less then 8000 mile motor, I can save you the heart ack.... and the money, it sounds like click click then the car doesnt go.

Come to find out one of the bolts that holds the air cleaner down didnt have lock tite on it. and now you knwo the rest of the story :P

I will try to update more offen.

Well the work for is over....

2007-02-20T16:16:00.000-08:00

it was not fun while it lasted :P I was reminded why I left D3ntrix in the first place an why I LOVE my new job.

So what ever happened to Eric ?????

Yeah D3ntrix.....

2007-02-02T14:43:00.000-08:00

D3ntrix called me up and made an offer that i could not resist to turn down....

$1*.00 (they asked me not to talk about it) an hour to take calls from my basement.
15 hours a week, 3 hours aday taking Core calls, they are Providing a computer, a phone, a router, and pay me for my inet.

I also bought a Sony (i know, i know am supporting the Evil Anti gamer Company) KDL 46S2010 46" BRAVIA S LCD 720p . I got it on sale for $1798.00 with no taxes and free shipping.
I LOVE IT, Gears of War is awsome in 720p and Zelda on my Wii is great in wide screen 480p.

Dentrix Calls at home....

2007-01-30T08:57:00.000-08:00

I took a few dentrix calls at home today. I only had to call resource once :)

What did I get for Christmas....

2007-01-02T14:59:00.000-08:00

I got a Wii thats right a Nintendo Wii and Dang its fun :P and 15" rims for My NEW geo Metro Pics to come

Modding a Geo???

2006-12-08T08:27:00.000-08:00

Yeah why not?? Its Like driving a go-cart on the streets and the mods are why cheap or have to be custom made. Ill be into the Turbo setup about $250 to $400 Denpending an if I need to rebuild the Turbo. It Should Push out about 125 hp Which is awsome because the stock motor pushes like 45 hp.

I can't figure out why I would rather mod my Metro than my 2.3 L Mustang powered Street Legal Dune buggy.

here are some good links for D.I.Y.

Mmmmm Turbo...

2006-12-06T13:27:00.000-08:00

So I got a KKK K03 turbo off of ebay for $50 and Im going to put it on my metro

So I am going to buy....

2006-11-29T08:21:00.000-08:00

A Geo Metro that has a rebuilt engine, is bored .020 over spec, has a 3tech performance head with a 218/350 cam , a Swift GT flywheel/PP/Clutch (lighter and stronger then Geo Parts), a new oil pump, gaskets, and bearings. Its been lowered 3 inchs, has Mk4 swaybars. The idle sounds like half of a built v6. It revs quick and past 3500 rpm it revs so fast and pulls so hard it will make you grin.

Im doing this because the "Sick Little Turdall" Motor is shot . RIP :( :(

Are things that bad...

I've truned to the dark side...

2006-10-27T08:27:00.000-07:00

Well I have done it I bought my self a 30gig Video Ipod 5.5 gen. WOW this thing is awsome! the only thing i would change is to give it aleast a 5 band EQ.

I got it as a open box deal for $230 plus a $15 gift card to best buy

This one for famousjay...

Famousjay Wrote "WWJD: What would Jesse do if they did away with queue flexing and wanted previous employees back? Hmm.. I know what Kr5is would do. He'd move back from Denver to work in HT and be happy with us again...
.. But what would Jesse do?"

I make More money here even after paying for my own benefits I only have to drive 15 mins to get to work. I leave early on Fridays and get paided a full 40 hours. I take lunch when I want and for as long as I want. The boss buys us lunch about once a week. One Day I left Sick with 3 hours left in the day and guess what I was paid 40 hours for that week ... Most of the time my boss doesn’t care what I’m doing as long as the work gets done. So when the works over I watch movies, surf anywhere I want (NO I am NOT NOAH), Play on my GP2x, Download music.....

OR

I can go back to D3ntrix and make less money spend 2X as much on gas to get to work, If I leave early on a Friday I do not get paid 40 hours and If I dont hit 40 hours they will use a 4 hour chunk of PTO to make it up. If I’m 7 mins late 3 times I have to be afraid of losing my job. If i leave sick i have to use my PTO in 4 hour chunks. PLUS have the off chance that Queue Flexing could come back.....

The ONLY thing I Really Miss From D3ntrix is My Friends!!!!

So to answer WWJD? I would ......

Rather live on welfare then go back to work for D3ntrix. :)

So has anyone from High tech played Stepmania ? its a clone of DDR that is Open source.

And now in English after translating into Russian then English then french then German then English. "Which quantity tool tension adjuster from wood from tool tension adjuster wood wood, if the smoked wood from wood of the tool tension adjuster of the tool tension adjuster fog"

Nothing much to blog...

2006-09-11T16:36:00.000-07:00

Well nothing much to say... I’ve commented on most people’s blogs and do most days.

I hope every one is alive and Kicking at D3ntrix (I do that because I don’t want my blog to show up on Google).

So I came to work in my kilt and my boss laughed because I have told him the story.

I do have to say this office gets way to Quiet at times. Lots of time to think and a lot more typing.
