Abstract
The cold start tests were performed comparatively for the liquid petroleum gas (LPG) and gasoline engines at the ambient temperatures of 9, 15 and 20°C respectively. The results showed that the fuel air mixture suitable for the LPG engine start is leaner than that of the gasoline engine. The first fuel injection pulse width for the start of the gasoline engine is about 6.9 times of that at the normal idle condition, while it needs only 2.5 times for the LPG engine. Because of the lower volumetric efficiency, the initial throttle openings for the start and idling of the LPG engine are larger than those of the gasoline engine. Generally speaking, the start behavior of the LPG engine is better than that of the gasoline engine.
