WORKING WITH LPG EQUIPMENT NOTE NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) 58 covers the procedures for storage and garaging for repair purposes, on propane powered equipment. WARNING CAUTION Propane Vapor is heavier than air and can collect in low areas when adequate ventilation or air movement is not present to disperse it. Never check for leaks with a flame or match. Use a leak detector solution or an electronic detector. Make sure the container service valve is closed when connecting or disconnecting.
CHAPTER 0 LPG AND LPG FUEL TANKS The same principle is applied to LPG in a container, commonly referred to as an LPG tank or cylinder. Typically an LPG tank is not filled over 80% capacity allowing for a 20% vapor expansion space. Outside air temperature effect’s an LPG tank and must be considered when using an LPG system. (Figure 2) shows the relationship between pressure and temperature in a LPG tank at a steady state condition.
LPG Fuel Tanks Installing LPG Fuel Tanks The two styles of LPG storage containers available for industrial use and lift truck applications are portable universal cylinders and permanently mounted tanks. Portable universal cylinders are used primarily for off-highway vehicles and are constructed in accordance with the DOT-TC (United States Department of Transport – Transport Canada).
LPG Fuel Tank Components 2 3 7 8 Service Valve The service valve is a manually operated valve using a small hand wheel to open and close the fuel supply to the service line (fuel supply line). The service valve installs directly into the tank and has two main categories, liquid and vapor service valves. Liquid service valves used on portable LPG tanks use a 3/8” (3/8” NPT) male pipe thread on the service valve outlet for attachment of a quick disconnect coupler.
Quick Disconnect Coupling Filler Valve The liquid withdrawal or service valve on a DOT tank has male threads and accepts the female portion of a quick disconnect coupling (Figure 8). The female portion is adapted to the liquid hose going to the fuel system. Both halves are equipped with 100% shutoffs, which open when coupled together to allow fuel flow. The coupler has two seals. One is an o-ring and the other is a flat washer.

CHAPTER 2 MI-04 LPG SYSTEM OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW MI-04 General Description MI-04 control system is designed to provide a complete, fully integrated solution that will meet or exceed TIER-2 Large Spark Ignited Engines emission standards established by the California Air Research Board (CARB) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for 2004. The MI-04 is a closed loop system utilizing a catalytic muffler to reduce the emission level in the exhaust gas.
The SECM makes any necessary corrections to the air fuel ratio by controlling the inlet fuel pressure to the air/fuel mixer by modulating the fuel trim valve (FTV) connected to the regulator. Reducing the fuel pressure leans the air/fuel mixture and increasing the fuel pressure enriches the air/fuel mixture. To calculate any necessary corrections to the air fuel ratio, the SECM uses a number of different sensors to gain information about the engines performance.
MI-04 LP Fuel Filter MI-04 Fuel Lock-Off (Electric) Figure 11 Figure 12 The fuel lock-off is a safety shutoff valve, normally held closed by spring pressure, which is operated by an electric solenoid and prevents fuel flow to the regulator/converter when the engine is not in operation. This is the first of three safety locks in the MI-04 system. (Figure 12) shows the electric fuel lock assembly.
MI-04 N-2001 Regulator/Converter N-2001 Heat Transfer Chamber Coolant Passage Figure 14 (Figure 14) shows the heat chamber and the coolant passage in the N-2001. Figure 13 After passing through the electric fuel lock-off, liquid propane enters the N-2001 regulator/converter (Figure 13). The N-2001 functions as a fuel vaporizer, converting liquid propane to vapor propane and as a two-stage negative pressure regulator, supplying the correct vapor propane fuel pressure to the mixer.
N-2001 Theory of Operation N-2001 Cutaway View 7 8 6 5 9 4 3 1 2 Figure 15 Liquid propane, at tank pressure, enters the N-2001 through the fuel inlet port (1). Propane liquid then flows through the primary valve (2). The primary valve located at the inlet of the expansion chamber (3), is controlled by the primary diaphragm (4), which reacts to vapor pressure inside the expansion chamber.
MI-04 N-CA55-500TR Mixer N-CA55-500-TR Air/Fuel Mixer Theory of Operation Vapor propane fuel is supplied to the N-CA55-500TR mixer by the N-2001 pressure regulator/converter. The N-CA55-500TR mixer uses a piston type air valve assembly to operate a gas-metering valve inside the mixer. The gas-metering valve is normally closed, requiring a negative pressure (vacuum) signal from a cranking or running engine to open. This is the third of the three safety locks in the MI-04 system.
When the engine is cranked over it begins to draw in air, creating a negative pressure signal. This negative pressure signal is transmitted through a port in the check valve plate to the AVV chamber. A pressure/force imbalance begins to build across the air valve piston between the AVV chamber (below the piston) and atmospheric pressure above the piston. Approximately 6” W.C.
The SECM calculates the correct throttle valve opening that corresponds to the driver’s demand, makes any adjustments needed for adaptation to the engine’s current operating conditions and then generates a corresponding electrical (driver) signal to the throttle-valve actuator. MI-04 Electronic Throttle Conventional throttle systems rely on mechanical linkage to control the throttle valve.
A branch-tee fitting is installed in the atmospheric vent port of the N2001 with one side of the branch-tee connected to the intake side of the mixer forming the balance line and referencing atmospheric pressure. The other side of the branch-tee fitting connects to the FTV inlet (small housing side). The FTV outlet (large housing connector side) connects to the AVV port.
The HEGO stoichiometric air/fuel ratio voltage target is approximately 500mV and changes slightly as a function of speed and load. When the HEGO sensor sends a voltage signal less than 500mV the SECM interprets the air/fuel mixture to be lean. The SECM then decreases the duty cycle of the FTV lowering the amount of air valve vacuum (AVV) acting on the atmospheric side of the N2001 secondary diaphragm, increasing the regulator vapor propane output to richen the air/fuel mixture.
MI-04 SECM (General Description) MI-04 SECM (Fuel Management) The Woodward Small Engine Control Module (SECM) controller has full authority over spark, fuel and air. Utilizing Motorola’s HCS12 micro controller, the SECM has 24 pins of I/O and is fully waterproof and shock hardened (Figure 23). To optimize engine performance and drivability, the SECM uses several sensors for closed loop feedback information.
Catalytic Muffler As exhaust and catalyst temperatures rise the following reaction occurs: z Oxides of nitrogen (NOx) are reduced into simple nitrogen (N2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). z Hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) are oxidized to create water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). All exhaust gases pass through a catalyst that is mounted in the catalytic muffler. It filters the harmful gases through a dense honeycomb structure coated with precious metals such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium.
NOTE The DV-E5 is not a serviceable assembly. If the TPS sensor fails, the assembly should be replaced. MI-04 SECM (Load/Speed Management) Drive by wire refers to the fact that the MI-04 control system has no throttle cable from the Acceleration Pedal (Figure 26) to the throttle body. Instead, the SECM is electronically connected both to the Acceleration Pedal assembly and the throttle body.
The MI-04 system also performs minimum (min) and maximum (max) governing through the SECM and DBW throttle. For min governing, or idle speed control, the idle speed is fixed by the SECM. Unlike a mechanical system, the idle speed is not adjustable by the end user. The idle speed is adjusted by the SECM based on engine coolant temperature. At these low engine speeds, the SECM uses spark and throttle to maintain a constant speed regardless of load.
MI-04 Ignition management “SmartCoil” In the normal course of events, with the engine operating at the correct temperature in defined conditions, the SECM will use load and engine speed to derive the correct ignition timing. In addition to load and speed there are other circumstances under which the SECM may need to vary the ignition timing, including low engine coolant temperature, air temperature, start-up, idle speed control.

CHAPTER 5 MI-04 LP ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS Advanced Diagnostics Reading Diagnostic Fault Codes The MI-04 systems are equipped with built-in fault diagnostics. Detected system faults can be displayed by the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) as Diagnostic Fault Codes (DFC) or flash codes, and viewed in detail with the use of service tool software. When the ignition key is turned ON the MIL will perform a self-test, illuminate once and then go OFF.
Displaying Fault Codes (DFC) From SECM Memory Clearing Fault (DFC) Codes To clear the stored fault codes from SECM memory you must complete the reset fault pedal maneuver. To enter code display mode you must turn OFF the ignition key. Now turn ON the key but do not start the engine. As soon as you turn the key to the ON position you must cycle the Acceleration Pedal by depressing it to the floor and then fully releasing the pedal (pedal maneuver).

CHAPTER 7 N2001 PRESSURE REGULATOR /CONVERTER Propane is a by-product of crude oil and natural gas. In the extraction process various hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, propane and butane are separated. Each of these carry a certain amount of by-product residue, commonly called heavy ends. Under normal circumstances these residues remain suspended in liquid and pass through the system undetected.
Hose Connections Proper operation of the closed loop control greatly depends on the correct vacuum hose routing and fuel line lengths. Refer to the connection diagram (Figure R1) for proper routing and maximum hose lengths when reinstalling system components.
N2001 Removal Steps: 1. Close the liquid outlet valve in the fuel storage container. 2. Purge the system of fuel by starting the engine and running until all trapped fuel in the system is exhausted and the engine shuts down. 3. Remove the fuel inlet line (1) from the lock-off, the two vacuum lines (2) from the branch-tee fitting in the regulator vent and disconnect the lock-off connector (3). 4. Remove the two rear-mounting bolts that hold the regulator to the support bracket.

CHAPTER 8 N-CA55-500TR AIR/FUEL MIXER Propane is a by-product of crude oil and natural gas. In the extraction process various hydrocarbons such as gasoline, kerosene, propane and butane are separated. Each of these carry a certain amount of by-product residue, commonly called heavy ends. Under normal circumstances these residues remain suspended in liquid and pass through the system undetected.
N-CA55-500TR Mixer Removal Steps: O-Ring Spacer 1 4 3 Figure M3 2 NOTE There will be a plastic o-ring spacer and an o-ring inside this adapter, be careful not to lose these items when removing the mixer/adapter assembly from the throttle (Figure M3). Figure M3 1. Close the liquid outlet valve in the forklift cylinder or fuel storage container. 2. Purge the system of fuel by starting the engine and running until all trapped fuel in the system is exhausted and the engine shuts down. 3.
N-CA55-500TR Disassembly and Service 8 14 Figure M4 1 1.

O-Ring Spacer Figure M18 Figure M19 3. Check for free travel of the mixer’s piston diaphragm assembly by pushing the piston diaphragm downward (Figure M18). If you detect any binding, loosen the retaining screws, re-align the gasket and re-tighten the retaining screws. Check for binding again, if the piston assembly moves freely, re-torque the fasteners and continue. 6. Place the O-ring Spacer over the outside throat of the throttle.
9. Tighten the four mounting bolts hand tight using a crossing pattern from one side of the adapter to the other. This prevents the adapter O-ring from misaligning against the throttle, which may cut the O-ring and cause an intake leak. Finally, tighten the four throttle adapter fasteners to the specified torque values. Figure M20 10. Install the TMAP sensor mounting-bracket to the manifold adapter.
CHAPTER 9 TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS N2001 Service Testing WARNING z z z After overhaul or for simply checking the N2001 regulator/converter operation, the following tests can be performed (See Chapter 7 for removal/installation of the N2001). To check the secondary regulation (output) a simple vacuum hand pump can be used to simulate the vacuum signal transmitted from the air/fuel mixer when the engine is running. You will need the following hardware: LP gas is highly flammable.
Secondary Stage Test Connection Primary Stage Test Hardware 1. Hand vacuum pump. Magnahelic Gauge 2. Regulator Fuel Inlet test fitting (¼” NPT standard air coupling). 3. Test Gauge fitting (1/4” NPT X 1/4” Hose Barb). Union Tee Figure R11 4. Vacuum hose or vinyl tubing. Vacuum Hand Pump 5. 0-60 in W.C. Magnehelic Gauge (inches of water column).

Ignition Timing Adjustment Distributor with Rotor Cap Removed With the MI-04 system both mechanical and vacuum advance are no longer inside the distributor. All ignition timing advance is controlled by the SECM. The only timing adjustment that can be made by a technician is the mechanical alignment of the distributor. The SECM uses a 40-degree timing window from –5 degrees BTDC to 35 degrees BTDC.
Incorrect Alignments #1 Tooth Flat Side of Shaft Figure G4 4. Loosen the distributor hold down nut and rotate the distributor so that the signal rotor gear tooth of the #1 cylinder (tooth opposite the flat side of the distributor shaft) lines up with the sensor pickup. (Figure G4). Correct Alignment 1 Figure G5 5. To correctly set the distributor, align the center of the #1 cylinder tooth with the leading edge of the VR sensor pickup (Figure G5).
Figure G6 Figure G8 7. After you have completed setting the distributor alignment you will need to adjust the VR sensor used by the SECM for speed reference. This sensor is mounted near the crankshaft pulley wheel (Figure G6). 9. Using a feeler gauge (Figure G8), loosen the sensor retaining bolts and adjust the gap between the sensor and the gear tooth from 1.25mm to 1.5mm. Re-tighten the sensor retaining bolts when complete. 10.
Idle Mixture Adjustment Figure G9 5. Launch the MotoView program on your computer and open the Service Tool display. Figure G7 The method for making the idle mixture adjustment to a running engine is to use the Service Tool software by connecting a laptop computer to the SECM. If you do not have the Service Tool proceed to (step 12). A USB (Universal Serial Bus) to CAN (Controller Area Network) communication adapter by Kavaser will be required along with a Crypt Token (Figure G7).
Idle Mixture Screw Tamper Proof Cap Figure 10 Figure 11 7. While on the Run Screen adjust the idle mixture screw on the mixer until a reading of 25-50% is reached for the FTV Duty Cycle (Figure G10). 13. Install the tamper proof cap on the idle mixture screw adjustment port so that no further adjustments can be made (Figure G11). 8. To make this adjustment you will need to adjust the nylon screw all the way inward and then back out the screw ¼ turn.
