FIAT BRAVO LPG
KNOWING YOUR CAR
INTRODUCTION
The LPG version of the car features two
fuel systems: one for petrol and one for
LPG.
Like the petrol system, the LPG system
is the phased, sequential multipoint type
with special injectors.
LPG MULTIPOINT INJECTION
SYSTEM
This product is produced in strict collaboration with prestigious suppliers in the
LPG sector. The injection system used on
the car is an efficient system in terms of
engine performance and is based on the
injection of LPG in a gaseous state.
In this system with four injectors, one for
each intake manifold, the fuel is injected
directly into the engine heat transfer ducts
thereby metering the LPG very precisely
improving combustion and, at the same
time, excluding any possibility of flame return.
By adapting the electronic control technology of petrol engines to meet the specifications of LPG, it has been possible to
achieve important results in terms of driveability and controlling exhaust emissions.
Engines running on LPG have almost the
same torque/power specifications as when
running on petrol and, as a result, the performance of the car is also comparable.
The system extreme operating temperatures are between
–20°C and 100°C.
WHAT IS LPG?
LPG (the abbreviation of liquefied petroleum gas) is a mixture of gas used as an
economical and safe primary energy
source.
Its main components are: propane gas and
butane gas mixed.
These gases are a product of petroleum
refinement and are also present naturally
in oil fields and methane-producing deposits.
In its natural state this mixture is in a
gaseous state but, as the pressure increases, at ambient temperature, it can
easily be turned into a liquid state.
LPG is a fuel with a low environmental impact because it reduces the pollution produced by vehicle exhaust gases.

FIAT BRAVO LPG
SELECTING THE
TYPE OF FUEL SUPPLY
The car is configured for running independently on either petrol or LPG.
The engine is always started on petrol
with an automatic shift to LPG after about
40 seconds at the first significant acceleration.
This is the time required to reach optimum conditions (engine coolant temperature, minimum revs level) for the switch
to LPG. As far as what has been said
is concerned, there must always be
some petrol in the tank (at least 1/4
full) in order not to compromise the op-
eration of the fuel pump.
When running on LPG, when
the last red LED on gas quantity indicator (visible on the
switch) comes on, refuelling is
advisable. If the LPG runs out during
LPG operation, the system automatically switches to running on petrol
shown by: the amber LED coming on
constantly and the green LED flashing,
the fuel level LEDs going out and a
buzzer in the switch.
In addition, it is advisable to periodically
use up the petrol in the tank (until the reserve warning light comes on) in order to
ensure that the petrol does not become
old and possibly deteriorate.
The petrol/LPG switch fig. 1, located on
the centre tunnel (next to the gear lever)
allows the driver to select petrol or LPG
operation at their discretion.

FIAT BRAVO LPG
When painting in an oven, the
LPG tank should be removed
from the car and later care-
fully refitted by a Fiat Dealership. Although the LPG system has
numerous safety features, it is advisable to close the manual tap on the
tank every time the car is not in use for
a long period, transported on other vehicles or moved in an emergency as a
result of a breakdown or accident.
Active safety
The car has the same active safety specifications as other versions.
The LPG tank meets the legal safety standards of the countries in which the version illustrated this Supplement is marketed.
The car is equipped with
gaseous LPG injection system
designed specifically for the
car: it is therefore strictly
prohibited to alter the configuration of
the system and components. The use
of other components or materials could
cause malfunctions and lead to a reduction in safety therefore, in the case
of problems, go to a Fiat Dealership.
When towing or raising the car, to prevent damage to the gas system parts,
follow the instructions in the Owner
Handbook in the “Towing the car”
chapter.
It should be pointed out that
in some countries (including
Italy) there are legal restrictions in
force for parking/garaging motor vehicles with gas that has a higher density than air; LPG comes under this
category.
WARNING
PASSIVE SAFETY/
ACTIVE SAFETY
Passive safety
The car has the same passive safety specifications as other versions. In particular,
the canister mountings (located in the
spare wheel housing) have been designed
to exceed the Fiat safety standards for impact tests.
When running on LPG, the flow of gas (in
a liquid state) leaving the canister, passes
through the dedicated pipe to the pressure regulator where there is a safety solenoid valve that stops the flow of LPG
when the key is turned off or when a
change of fuel is selected by the driver (decision to run on petrol).
Together with the regulator solenoid
valve, a second solenoid valve, in the tank,
closes the LPG pipe at the tank outlet.
The two solenoid valves are connected to
the inertia switch (Fire Protection System).

FIAT BRAVO LPG
LPG TANK
The vehicle has a (pressurized) tank
A - fig. 3 for LPG in a liquid state that is
toroidal in shape and located in the housing for the spare wheel with suitable protection.
The LPG in the tank A is always in a liquid
and gaseous state, in physical equilibrium
conditions.
The liquid, which cannot be compressed,
dilates by around 0.25% for each increase
in temperature of one degree. For this
reason a suitable space allowing the increase in volume of the liquid for all
forseeable temperature increases is guaranteed (e.g. car parked in the full sun in
summer) without compromising the integrity of the tank.
In effect, there is a safety valve that automatically limits the refilling of the tank
(during refuelling) to a maximum level of
80% (liquid) of its total capacity.
Periodically (at least once
every six months) it is advisable to let the LPG in the tank
run out and, at the first refuelling, check that it does not exceed the
maximum capacity of 41 litres (see instructions in “Capacities” paragraph in
this Supplement). If the value is above
41 litres, go to a Fiat Dealer immediately.
LPG TANK CERTIFICATION
The LPG tank is certified in accordance with the regulations in force.
In Italy the tank has a life of 10 years
from the registration date of the car.
If the car has been registered in a different country from Italy, the life of
the LPG tank and test/inspection
procedures may vary depending on
the laws in force in that particular
country. In any case, when the time
limit in the individual country has run
out, go to a Fiat Dealer to have the
tank replaced.
There is a plate on the tank B - fig. 3 containing the following information:
– homologation country identification and
homologation number;
– type of gas designed for (LPG);
– name of canister manufacturer;
– canister test pressure (30 bar);
– maximum refilling percentage (80%);
– tank dimensions;
– nominal tank capacity in litres;
– canister manufacture date (month/year);
– canister serial number.

FIAT BRAVO LPG
SOLENOID VALVES
AND SAFETY DEVICES
The system has a solenoid valve located
on the pressure reduction unit and a solenoid valve fitted inside the multivalve assembly on the tank.
The main function of these solenoid valves
is to interrupt/allow the flow of LPG to
the supply circuit.
The solenoid valves are open when:
– a request to run on LPG has been made;
– the optimum engine running conditions
are satisfied (engine coolant temperature,
minimum revs level) for running on LPG;
– there is enough LPG in the tank for operation;
– the inertia switch has not been triggered.
The multivalve assembly fitted on the tank
includes:
– a valve that automatically stops the supply of LPG when the maximum permitted
filling level is reached (80% of the total
tank capacity);
– a flow limiter which, if a pipe is broken,
prevents the complete and sudden escape
of LPG;
– a one-way valve, located on the gas return pipe in the tank, which prevents LPG
reflux;
– a safety solenoid valve on the LPG supply, which either gives the go ahead or
prevents the escape of gas to the pressure
reduction unit;
– a manual tap, upstream of the solenoid
valve, that separates the tank from the
LPG system to allow maintenance operations;
– a fuse pad which, in the case of
overheating (temperature above 120°C),
totally eliminates the danger of excess
pressure making the LPG in the tank flow
out as quickly as possible in a controlled
manner;
– an analogue gauge showing the level of
LPG in the tank.

FIAT BRAVO LPG
REGULATION UNIT
The regulation unit fig. 4 includes:
– cut out solenoid valve with gauze filter;
– pressure regulator.
The cut out solenoid valve opens or
closes together with the solenoid valve on
the tank. It closes each flow of LPG when
the engine is not running on gas.
It also acts as a safety device that prevents
the flow of LPG if the inertia switch is activated.
fig. 4
F0Q0802m
The pressure regulator allows the
change of the LPG from a liquid state to
a gaseous state via a dilation chamber and
maintains the pressure required for the
operation of the system at a preset value.
PIPING
The piping for the LPG in a liquid state
(from the filler to the tank and from the
tank to the pressure regulator) is made
from copper and coated in plastic.
The piping for the LPG in a gaseous state
(from the pressure regulator to the LPG
injectors) is made from rubber.

PAPER FILTER
The filter fig. 5, located on the pressure
regulator outlet pipe, has the task of filtering the LPG in a gaseous state during
the LPG injectors supply stage.

F0Q0803m
LPG INJECTORS
There are four injectors fig. 6, specially
designed for LPG, mounted on the intake
manifold near the cylinder head, one for
each inlet duct; they are supplied with LPG
in a gaseous state at a constant pressure
and are controlled by a specific electronic control unit.
A gas pressure and temperature sensor
that sends an appropriate electrical signal
in order to determine the LPG injection
time is fitted on the injectors.

ELECTRONIC
CONTROL UNIT
The vehicle has a dedicted electronic control unit for the LPG system; it uses the
incoming signals from the petrol injection
control unit and converts them into signals for the injection of the LPG.
The control unit for the injectors has the
same strategy as the petrol control unit
(phased, sequential, multipoint).
LPG/PETROL SWITCH
The LPG/petrol switch fig. 7 is located on
the centre console near the handbrake
lever and includes:
A. LPG/petrol operating mode request
button;
B. LPG gauge: 5 LEDs, 4 green and 1 red
to indicate the reserve. The red LED only comes on when the last green LED goes
out.
The red LED indicates the reserve condition;
ON. LPG operating mode indicator:
green LED, located under button A, on
constantly;
OFF. petrol operating mode indicator:
yellow LED, located above button A, on
constantly.
IMPORTANT When the ignition key is
turned to the MAR position the LEDs on
the ignition switch come on in accordance
with the following logic:
– with the petrol operating mode se-
lected: yellow OFF LED on;
– with the LPG operating mode se-
lected: all the LEDs in the switch are on
constantly and the green ON LED is flashing.
To select the type of fuel system desired
(LPG or petrol), press the button A - fig. 7.
To change the type of fuel system, it is advisable to operate the button with the vehicle stationary and the engine running or,
whilst driving, after having released the accelerator.
If the switching takes place during acceleration or pick-up, there may be a brief
flat spot (fall in power).
Do not switch between the two operating modes whilst starting the engine.

FIAT BRAVO LPG
SWITCH FROM PETROL TO LPG
When running on petrol: press the button
A - fig 7, the switch to LPG will take place
automatically at the first significant acceleration.
During switching:
– the LPG gauge B comes on;
– the yellow OFF LED goes out (petrol
operating mode);
– the green ON LED comes on switching from intermittent to on constantly
(LPG operating mode);
There is a series of 5 LEDs B (1 red and
4 green) on the left side of the switch that
display the amount of LPG in the tank.
When the amount of LPG remaining goes
below about 1/5 of the capacity of the
tank, only the red (reserve) LED remains
on to signal the need for refuelling.
IMPORTANT In the case of starting at
outside temperatures of below -10°C, the
switching times from petrol to LPG increase to allow the pressure regulator to
become warm enough.
LPG used up
If the LPG runs out, switching to petrol
takes place automatically with:
– the yellow OFF LED on constantly;
– the green ON LED flashing;
– an acoustic warning from the switch
buzzer (fast frequency).
IMPORTANT The buzzer warns the driver that the engine is running on petrol;
therefore they must refuel with LPG before it runs out.
IT IS possible to deactivate the buzzer by
pressing switching button A.
Do not switch between the
two operating modes whilst
starting the engine
Switching from LPG to petrol
When running on LPG: press the button

FUEL CUT OFF SWITCH
In the case of LPG operation as well, the
safety switch is triggered if the car is involved in an impact immediately cutting off
the supply (safety solenoid valve closed)
and causing the engine to cut out.
For further information, see the “Fuel cut
off switch” paragraph in the “Controls”
chapter in the Owner Handbook.
STARTING THE ENGINE
The engine is always started on petrol
even with the switch in the LPG position
(green LED flashing, yellow LED on constantly) and switches automatically soon
after.
There must always be some petrol in the
tank to protect the petrol pump.
To carry out the starting manoeuvre, see
the warnings and advice in the Owner
Handbook under the chapter “Starting the
engine”.
In this condition it is possible
to continue driving running on
petrol (excluding the LPG fu-
el system). To stop the
buzzer, press button A: the green ON
LED will go out and the yellow OFF
LED will remain on constantly. Go to a
Fiat Dealer as soon as possible to have
the system checked.
SYSTEM FAILURE SIGNALLING
The car has an autodiagnostic system capable of signalling any malfunctions in the
LPG fuel system through the green ON
LED fig. 7 flashing. In the case of faults
that could affect the correct operation of
the engine, the LPG control unit will automatically switch from LPG operation to
running on petrol.
This condition will be shown by:
– the yellow OFF LED on constantly;
– the green ON LED flashing;
– an acoustic warning from the switch
buzzer (slow frequency).

different supply/stop specifications,
tank not completely in reserve conditions.
It should be remembered that when using
a fuel like LPG, the range is very variable
because, in addition to the vehicle driving
and maintenance conditions, it also depends on the different composition of the
gas which may vary, not only seasonally,
but also from supplier to supplier. LPG is,
in effect, a composition of gas (butane and
propane) mixed in a way that may not be
standardized.
During LPG operation, the “Instant consumption” and “Average consumption”
readings are not significant, but remain
valid for all other functions.
IMPORTANT Only use LPG for motor vehicles.
If, when refuelling with LPG,

tance immediately from a Fiat Dealer. Periodically (at least once
every six months) it is advisable to let
the LPG in the tank run out and, at the
first refuelling, check that it does not
