Question

Can u make ur car so it can take petrol and gas or even electric?

Answer 1

Yes you can. The combination of gas and petrol is very easy. Cars on electricity and petrol do exist, but you can't convert a car on petrol into an electric one. You need storage, batteries. Hybrid cars like the Prius http://www.toyota.com/prius/index.html?s... or even more spectacular : a real dream car : The Tesla  http://www.teslamotors.com/  or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOl_1S10j...

Answer 2

I don't know if you can " make " it do that but you can convert it to run on anything that you like as long as you have the time and money

Answer 3

Liquid Petroleum Gas LPG is widely utilized in Australia for domestic heating cooking and more recently as an automotive fuel.  Its cleaner than oil based petroleum and its much cheaper.  The only problem is your fuel consumption is increased by about 15% and you lose about the same in power but the power loss is only noticeable at higher speeds.  Many buses and taxis use it because its cheaper per km to use it.

It costs about $2000-$3500 AUD or $2200+USD to convert your petrol (not diesel car) to duel fuel meaning you can switch from LPG to petrol and the Australian government gives a $2000 rebate if you get it installed and a $1000 rebate on new LPG vehicles.  Some states give additional installation rebates and LPG fuel subsidies.  Its at leased half the price of petrol if not a third of the price most of the time.

Answer 4

Yes you can get it converted to LPG Low Pressure Gas, you can even get a grant from the government to pay most of the cost.

Your car will then run on gas and petrol the gas costs about 20p a litre,

Answer 5

eventually ,a group of people will get together and build a car conversion shop:take a car in,pull out the engine and drive train andrebuild this car with different weight variances and re-deliver it to the customer in a reasonable amount of time and tat customer will get a tax exemption for this cost and the people whom created the conversion shop will get very rich

can't understand your grammar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 7

Take an existing vehicle and remove the engine, radiator and transmission.  Get a variable speed and reversible electric motor [or just build in a reversing gear] and enough batteries to allow you to drive 25 miles from your home and return to recharge.  This is a plug-in electric vehicle.  Then you buy, build or have built a compact 10-12 hp steam engine, boiler and condenser. Use the steam engine to run a generator to keep the batteries recharged whenever they get low.  The steam engine can be smaller than a Stirling and provide more power for its size so it would be more efficient to operate a generator.  The forced draft boiler would produce less pollution than an internal combustion engine and could use any liquid or gaseous fuel.  Petrol is highly refined and expensive.  A steam engine could use furnace oil, vegetable oil, ethanol, propane, methane, natural gas, liquefied coal, synthetic oil or gas, even hydrogen.

Since most of your driving is within 25 miles of your home the car would operate as a plug-in EV about 80% of the time.  But if you had to go farther the steam engine would run the generator to let you go up to 400 miles before refuelling.  It would also allow you to use AC and electric heat, power steering and brakes without worrying about discharging the batteries and being stuck miles from home.  The best EVs I have seen still require 6 plus hours to recharge, providing you can find a 220V outlet to plug in to.

The problem with the hybrids built by the automakers is that they insist on using the inherently polluting internal combustion engine as the primary power to the wheels and the electric motor as an auxiliary, to assist the IC engine.  You could use a 12-15 hp IC engine hooked to a generator to keep the EVs batteries charged and it would be some improvement, but it would still be more polluting than a steam engine.  It could be run on petrol or natural gas too, but the other fuels might present problems.

Answer 8

Any electric car.

The batteries can be charged from any fuel source, eg the tZero http://www.acpropulsion.com/tzero/ has a range >200 miles, but can tow a small petrol generator if you are going to drive further without stopping for a 10 minute break (which is all it takes to recharge modern batteries) http://phoenixmotorcars.com. Electric motors have so much more torque & efficiency than petrol that only a small generator is needed, running at constant optimum load.

the vaunted GM Volt (after they crushed all their EV1s http://ev1-club.power.net/)

lugs around a heavy, noisy, smelly, high maintenace infernal combustion generator all the time.

Answer 9

Yes...you can make a car that runs on coal or wood even . Any type of heat producing fuel can be used paper ,trash and dry cow dung. All this is possible only if you have an engine called a Stirling Engine.This is an external combustion engine and was developed by ford for cars. NASA also developed engines that can run on the heat of your hand or powered by the sun. The engine is virtually silent and because it is external combustion, unbelievable long lifespan. Not bad for an invention by a Scottish church minister in the 1800's.
