SECTION I
INTRODUCTION
Your new Powertrain Integration 8.0L engine has
been designed and built to operate on Liquefied Pe-
troleum Gas (LPG), commonly referred to as propane
or autogas. Propane fuel is readily available and,
when used as an engine fuel, provides a reduction in
harmful exhaust emissions.
This manual has been prepared as a supplement to
the OEM operator manual to inform the operator of
the specific items regarding the engine.
USING THIS MANUAL
This manual contains information which is unique to
the Powertrain Integration 8.0L LPG engine. It
should be used in conjunction with the OEM Opera-
tor Manual. If, after reviewing the information con-
tained in this manual, there are questions about the
information please contact Powertrain Integration
(Refer to Section V, Customer Assistance Infor-
mation) for clarification.
It is recommended that this manual be completely
reviewed upon receipt of vehicle. This will allow fa-
miliarization of the operation and special features of
the Powertrain Integration 8.0L LPG engine.
BREAK IN PERIOD NEW ENGINE
The engine does not need an elaborate break-in.
However it will perform better if these basic guide-
lines are followed:
•
Use conventional oil (non-synthetic) for first
10,000 miles
•
For the first 500mi (805km):
o
Keep the vehicle speed at 55 mph (88km/h)
or less.
o
Do not drive at any one constant speed.
Vary vehicle speed within posted speed lim-
its.
o
Avoid wide open throttle acceleration.
o
Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the ve-
hicle.
o
Avoid steady idling for extended periods
(longer than five minutes).
NOTE
:
Oil consumption is normal during operation
of a propane engine. The rate of consumption is
highly dependent on vehicle load, city, and highway
driving and duty cycles. New engines may experi-
ence higher oil consumption during the engine
break-in period. After the break-in period, oil usage
up to one quart per 1,500 miles is in the acceptable
range. Oil level should be checked at every fuel stop.
OIL CHANGE INTERVALS
The engine oil and filter must be changed every
5,000 miles (8,064 km). The crankcase capacity
is 8 qts, 9 qts with the filter. Refer to the OEM
operator manual for oil change instructions.
