We are ready for the future!
Did you know that ... hybrid cars can also be converted to LPG and CNG ?!
This means that you as the driver can switch between electric mode, driving on petrol and driving on LPG in order to achieve a long range and to minimize harmful exhaust emissions.

Organic LPG is on the rise!
The chances are good that the already widely recognized fuel LPG will be made even more popular in the course of reducing Co2 emissions. Drivers with an LPG system will be able to refuel with bio-LPG in the next year.

LPG

What is LPG and what is LPG?
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is also known as autogas in the automotive industry and, like gasoline and diesel, consists of hydrocarbon compounds. The main components of liquefied petroleum gas are propane and butane. Large amounts of petroleum gases are released both in the extraction of oil and natural gas and in the refining of crude oil. The compression of these petroleum gases turns the gas into liquid and creates LPG.
Compared to gasoline and diesel, LPG is a cleaner fuel. The use of liquefied petroleum gas as fuel thus contributes to better air quality.

Driving with LPG (Autogas)
LPG is more environmentally friendly and cheaper!

For a liter of LPG you pay almost one euro less than for a liter of petrol. In addition, it is a clean fuel. When your car runs on LPG, it emits up to 21% less CO2 and up to 95% less particulate matter than when driving on gasoline. With regard to NOx (nitrogen oxides), LPG produces significantly lower emissions than driving with petrol or diesel. Bio-LPG - an even more environmentally friendly variant - will also be available shortly.
The benefits of LPG
Savings in fuel costs
Greener driving
Nationwide petrol station network
Convenient refueling
No loss of performance
Additional range
Suitable for millions of gasoline vehicles already on the market!

The story of LPG - See the video

Diesel blend dual fuel system
The diesel blend dual fuel system from Prins is an extremely innovative fuel system. In the case of diesel engines, this system enables a considerable proportion of diesel to be replaced by cleaner and cheaper (bio) LPG , CNG or LNG .

The advanced electronics and software of the injection system combine the two fuels in such a way that an optimal mixture of diesel and alternative fuel (LNG / LPG / CNG) is created. The Prins-Dieselblend-AFC (Alternative Fuel Computer = computer for alternative fuel) calculates in real time the amount of diesel fuel that can be replaced. The AFC also calculates the amount of gas to be injected, ensuring the same power and torque as the original diesel fuel. This reduces consumption and operating costs without affecting the service life and performance of the engine.

ValveCare (-DI)
Why should you use ValveCare (-DI)?
The valves and valve seats of some engines are more prone to wear when operated with LPG or CNG . With gasoline engines, this problem does not occur because certain additives are added to the gasoline to lubricate the valves and valve seats. These additives are not contained in LPG and CNG fuels. With the Valve Care dosing system, these additives can be added together with the LPG or CNG in precisely dosed quantities, which prevents excessive wear on the valves and valve seats.

ValveCare
ValveCare is a unique dosing system for additives that counteracts the wear and tear of valves and valve seats. It has been specially developed and extensively tested. ValveCare is suitable for almost all Prins systems.
ValveCare guide:
https://www.prinsautogas.com/sites/default/files/media/members/technical-system-info/valvecare/Gebruikershandleiding_ValveCare.pdf

ValveCare-DI
General information:
The ValveCare DI system is a fully electronic, sequentially controlled additive dosing system, which is suitable for engines with direct injection (DI). In combination with the highly effective Prins additive (ValveCare-DI), the system contributes to a cleaner combustion chamber and an improved durability of valves and valve seats against excessive wear.

Diagnosis:
The consumption of the additive ValveCare-DI is 1 liter of additive per 1,000 liters of liquid gas. The additive container can be refilled at any time. When the additive tank is empty, the Prins switch will display a blue exclamation mark (flashing) and the engine can run for an additional 4 hours on LPG. After this time, the engine will only run on petrol and the exclamation mark will remain visible. By filling the additive tank, driving with LPG is possible again.

What you should know:
• One bottle of ValveCare-DI (1L) is sufficient for approx. 1,000 liters of liquid gas.
• Do not use or mix any other additive with the original Blue Prins
• ValveCare-DI additive. Using any other additive could damage the system and void the warranty immediately.
• Please contact your official Prins installer for more information.

List of ValveCare-DI:


InjectorCare
InjectorCare is a cleaning fluid that we have developed for cleaning LPG, CNG and DI injectors. By using InjectorCare you can keep the Prins system and the original fuel system in optimal condition.
With the use of InjectorCare, you avoid loss of engine performance, increased fuel consumption, increased exhaust emissions and starting problems.

When do you use InjectorCare?
Preventive cleaning with InjectorCare can be combined with normal maintenance of the Prins LPG and CNG systems. Prins recommends cleaning the gas injectors preventively at every service (<75,000 km) in accordance with the cleaning procedure recommended by the manufacturer.

InjectorCare has been extensively tested and found to be the only cleaning fluid for the injectors supplied by Prins to be safe. The use of other cleaning fluids can damage the seals in the gas injector of the Prins gas systems.

How is Prins-InjectorCare used?

CNG
CNG stands for "Compressed Natural Gas". It is basically compressed natural gas.

Driving with CNG or green gas
CNG is one of the cleanest fuels. It emits fewer harmful gases and substances than gasoline. The CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 20%. Compared to diesel, the emission reduction can even be up to 75%. In addition, a CNG vehicle emits up to 30% less NOx (nitrogen oxide) than a vehicle powered by diesel.
Green gas is the sustainable variant of natural gas. It is generated by upgrading biogas to natural gas quality. Green gas is produced through the fermentation of green and cut waste, sewage sludge and liquid manure.

Anoher advantage of CNG is the price difference compared to gasoline and diesel. CNG is much cheaper. So you save on fuel costs. These savings vary depending on the vehicle type and driving style.

Our CNG systems
- VSI System
- VSI-DI system
- Diesel blend dual fuel system

LNG

LNG stands for "Liquefied Natural Gas", that is, liquefied natural gas. LNG is used as a fuel for road traffic as well as for industrial and water vehicles.

Driving with LNG
LNG is the ideal fuel for heavy haulage and transportation over. The global use of LNG is growing rapidly and the role of LNG as an energy source is becoming increasingly important. Compared to diesel and petrol, LNG offers more environmentally friendly and cheaper solutions.
Prins developed the Dieselblend -2.0 LNG System (Dual Fuel) to operate vehicles reliably and efficiently with LNG. The Dieselbled system is also available in a CNG and an LPG version.
