Comply with Local Regulations
Authorized Modification Factories: According to Peru's regulations, vehicle modifications must be carried out in auto repair factories authorized by the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Only factories with official authorization can ensure that the modification process complies with legal requirements.
Vehicle Eligibility: The vehicle must use gasoline or automotive LPG, be authorized to transport passengers, be no more than 10 years old, and pass the technical pre - inspection by the workshop where the CNG conversion is to be carried out.
Procedures after Modification: After the modification is completed, the vehicle owner needs to go to the vehicle management department to handle the motor vehicle modification procedures, such as stamping the dual - fuel chapter on the driving license to ensure the legality of the modified vehicle.
Ensure Safety in Modification
Selection of Qualified Components: Use high - quality CNG storage cylinders, pressure regulators, gas injection devices, and other components to ensure that they meet relevant safety standards and have good reliability. For example, the storage cylinder should be able to withstand a test pressure 8 times its own weight.
Installation and Leak Detection: The installation of the CNG system should be carried out in strict accordance with the specified procedures. After the installation is completed, a strict leak detection test should be carried out. Use a natural gas detector or a soapy water solution to check the tightness of the pipeline connections and other parts to ensure that there is no gas leakage.
Regular Maintenance and Inspection: After the vehicle is converted to CNG, it needs to be regularly maintained and inspected. Regularly check the working condition of the gas system, including the pressure of the storage cylinder, the performance of the pressure regulator, etc., and replace worn - out components in a timely manner.
Choose a Professional Modification Factory
Check Qualifications and Experience: When choosing a modification factory, you should check its qualification certificate to ensure that it has the professional qualification for CNG vehicle modification. At the same time, understand the factory's modification experience and technical strength, and you can refer to customer evaluations and past modification cases.
Ensure Technical Capability: The modification factory should have professional technical personnel and complete modification equipment, be able to accurately install and debug the CNG system, and be able to provide professional technical support and after - sales service.
