Russians were warned about the risk of stopping the installation of gas equipment on cars

Russians risk being left without the opportunity to install gas equipment (LPG) on their cars. The Shot Telegram channel writes about this. The reason is the shortage of parts and the lack of certification laboratories.

The production of cylinders has been established in Russia, and the remaining components - nozzles supplying gas to the engine, gearboxes and electronic control units - have so far come from Europe. The main suppliers to the Russian market were Italy and Poland. Now the volume of imports is rapidly falling.

Once in Russia, every part for gas equipment must be tested and receive a certificate. According to the vice-president of the National Automobile Union, Anton Shaparin, most laboratories that could test such equipment have stopped working. Those who remain have the opportunity to perform only part of the required checks.

The bulk of gas products are now sold with certificates valid from one to five years. These documents are expiring, and it is not possible to obtain new ones in full. Because of this, the installation of gas equipment on Russian cars may stop.
