The vehicle with dual fuel systems has a double range, which is great for long journeys. The owner of the car will not have problems with refueling on unfamiliar routes, since, if necessary, it is always possible to switch the engine from gas to gasoline and vice versa. If you are planning a long road trip on the roads of our country, near or far abroad, it will not be superfluous to make an extraordinary call to the service station to diagnose car malfunctions and comprehensive maintenance. This will prevent the risk of annoying breakdowns at the most inopportune moment, which will have to be eliminated on the road or at unfamiliar expensive service stations.
Preliminary preparation for a road trip
Any road trip requires careful preparation of the vehicle for a high mileage. Experts recommend carrying out a complete maintenance, and not only gas equipment , but the entire vehicle. This will allow:
- to be sure that the car is working properly;
- avoid serious breakdowns on the road;
- eliminate the need to waste time and money on troubleshooting on the road.
Full maintenance involves the replacement of working fluids, filters and other consumables and computer diagnostics of malfunctions at the stand.
As for the documents that you need to take with you, for crossing the state border, it is usually sufficient to have a vehicle registration certificate with a note on the installation of gas equipment. Experienced travelers recommend taking with you, just in case, documents confirming the correctness of HBO installation and its correct settings.
When traveling by car across European countries, pay attention to the signs. In Europe, gas vehicles are prohibited from entering some tunnels, and the same applies to some parking lots.
Where to refuel?
If you plan to travel to Europe, then there are no problems with gas filling stations, but just in case, you should study the proposed route in advance and mark gas stations on it. High-octane gasoline in many countries is much more expensive than gas, therefore, it is better not to let the filling station with a critical remaining fuel in the cylinder.
And the last recommendation - when traveling abroad in a gas car, you must definitely take an OVC adapter with you. On foreign gas stations, adapters may not be suitable for our filling devices.
