Fuel sensor for a variable-blend natural gas appliance using the Wobbe Index

A system and method for configuring parameters for a variable gaseous appliance, comprise a sensor for detecting a composition of the gaseous fuel in a fuel tank. A first set of instructions are executable on a processor for receiving a signal from the sensor and analyzing the gaseous fuel based on the Wobbe Index, methane index, and inert gas percentage, to produce a gaseous fuel analysis. A second set of instructions are executable on the processor for producing a signal for configuring parameters of the engine for running the engine based on the gaseous fuel analysis.

PLUG-IN HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLE

A minivan-type plug-in hybrid electric vehicle includes a fuel tank, a battery, an exhaust pipe, and a high-voltage component that receives a high voltage. The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle further includes a first-row seat and a second-row seat, which are disposed on a floor panel forming a floor surface of a passenger compartment. In the vehicle front-rear direction, the first-row seat is positioned rearward of the front wheels, and the second-row seat is positioned rearward of the first-row seat and forward of the rear wheels. The second-row seat is slidable on the floor panel in the vehicle front-rear direction. The battery, the fuel tank, and the exhaust pipe are disposed below the floor panel. The high-voltage component is disposed under the first-row seat and above the floor panel.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE

An electric vehicle includes a battery pack and a charging port. The battery pack is disposed below a floor panel. The charging port is disposed in a side surface of the electric vehicle and above the battery pack. The battery pack and the charging port are electrically connected to each other by a cable. The cable is routed from the charging port downward and then inward along a wheel well, and further extends from the lower end of the wheel well toward the battery pack at a position below the floor panel and is connected to the battery pack.
