In the great set of the components of a CNG or LNG engine, many are the components that excel in importance and characteristics. Without a doubt, the ignition cable plays an elite role in the great automotive mechanism.
Present in the beating heart of the engine, the ignition cable is a truly unique tool since it allows first of all to start the engine and consequently all our actions on our vehicle.
What is an ignition cable?
Technically, the ignition cable has a real high voltage cable with the important function of connecting the ignition coil to the pipettes, two other essential components of the engine. The ignition cable is therefore a communicator that carries the signal to the engine so as to allow it to start.
From the point of view of its characteristics, this is highly resistant to high temperatures and corrosion by chemical agents external and internal to the CNG or LNG engine.
It is a particularly versatile tool since it changes components according to its use while maintaining the characteristics listed above.
Furthermore, the ignition cable is extremely important when considering fuel consumption. This, in fact, the more it wears, the more it increases fuel consumption, so it is good to consider that the average life of a standard ignition cable is about 50,000 kilometers. Of course, this is an approximate and highly variable figure since it varies according to the type of route that is generally taken with the engine.
Its replacement is, then, to be taken into consideration not only if linked to energy waste but also because a worn ignition cable, in the long run, could damage the upstream fuel system.
A small tool, the ignition cable, but which plays a fundamentally important role within the engine assembly of each car.
It would be appropriate to broaden the discussion by explaining the different types of ignition cables, however, presenting itself as a very broad topic, it is appropriate to dedicate a following article to it. Hoping it will be useful to you
