ECway Technologies provides engineering projects and software development with offices in multiple cities in India. They specialize in the design and fabrication of flexible fuel vehicles (FFVs) that can run on gasoline blended with ethanol or methanol. FFVs have engines that can burn varying proportions of these fuel blends through automatic adjustment of fuel injection and spark timing. The document then provides details on the working principle of two-stroke engines and lists advantages of using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in dual fuel vehicles such as lower costs, reduced emissions, and extended engine life compared to gasoline.

Flex-fuel engines are capable of burning any proportion of the resulting blend in the combustion chamber as fuel injection and spark timing are adjusted automatically according to the actual blend detected by electronic sensors. Flex-fuel vehicles are distinguished from bi-fuel vehicles, where two fuels are stored in separate tanks and the engine runs on one fuel at a time, for example, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or hydrogen. Working principle A two-stroke engine is a combustion engine that completes the thermodynamic cycle in two movements of the piston compared to twice that number for a fourstroke engine. This increased efficiency is accomplished by using the beginning of the compression stroke and the end of the combustion stroke to perform simultaneously the intake and exhaust (or scavenging) functions.

Petrol (spark ignition) versions are particularly useful in lightweight (portable) applications used in GENERATORS Dual fuel vehicle Pertrol tank carburettor spark plug Engine oil tank gas kit LPG tank ignition coil structure Advantages LPG is cheaper than petrol (up to 50%) It produces less exhaust emissions than petrol It is better for the engine and it can prolong engine life In some vehicles, it can provide better performance Has a higher octane rating than petrol (108 compared to 91) Disadvantages It has a lower energy density than petrol
