how petrol-LPG bi-fuel works
automatic and manual operation of LPG tanks
Eco-G vehicles have 2 tanks (petrol and LPG), which are used alternately; although this switch is done automatically, you can also manage it manually.
automatic
In this mode, the vehicle will systematically use the petrol tank to start and then alternate between the two tanks by itself. Preference is always given to the fullest tank.
manual
For this mode, you decide which tank to use and when you want to switch to the other. Your decision is saved as the default setting, until you change it.
