This document specifies general requirements and definitions for the gas dosage unit when not combined with the gas injection device (a liquefied petroleum gas fuel component), intended for use on the types of motor vehicles defined in ISO?3833. It also provides general design principles and specifies requirements for instructions and marking.
This document is applicable to vehicles (mono-fuel, bi-fuel or dual-fuel applications) using gaseous fuels in accordance with ISO?9162. It is not applicable to the following:
a) fuel containers;
b) stationary gas engines;
c) container mounting hardware;
d) electronic fuel management;
e) refuelling receptacles.
It is recognized that miscellaneous components not specifically addressed herein can be examined for compliance with the criteria of any applicable part of the ISO?20766 series, including testing to the appropriate functional tests.
All references to pressure in this document are considered gauge pressures unless otherwise specified.
This document applies to device which have a service pressure in the range of 110?kPa (butane rich at 20?°C) and 840?kPa (propane rich at 20?°C), hereafter referred to in this document. Other service pressures can be accommodated by adjusting the pressure by the appropriate factor (ratio).
