Blue Bird Propane Powered Vision - Engine Start Procedure 

this is amazing i never heard of a bus staring up by its self.

200th liked from meeee

Yeah our school uses them, what they didn't know is that you have to be certified in orderd to fill them with propane so now we have to pay a company to come and fill them every single morning

My design has the same Engine Start Procedure As this one, but you set the Gear to 35 and the Parking brake is located at the Feet control.

how did it start with 0 gas?

Shouldn’t the parking brake already be applied way before you decided to start it? That bus won’t sit unless it’s applied “parked”.

@Bluebirdvision91 The input to the computer is binary (the computer cannot turn on unless the key is "ON"), so unless the switch shorted, it would be impossible. Any bus can start itself, so the propane bus is no more susceptible to this than a Cumminns powered model.

I have on it won't show engine start in progress, just does nothing

This is neat but now we have the danger of a malfunction and the engine starting up by itself.

Patrick - Where are you located and who is your refueling provider? In most states all it requires is some simple training for you to do your own refueling, and your fueling provider should be able to offer that. The procedure is simple and most states do not require a special "certification" to refuel.

@Bluebirdvision91 Any bus can do it if there is a short in the switch. I didn't mean they were SUPPOSED to start themselves.

we are in Goddard Kansas and honestly i have no idea who our provider is, but thank you for replying, and i don't know if its true that's just what some bus drivers have said here

Not holding the key in the start position is one difference. The other one I see is having the key in the on position for 30 seconds prior to starting.

@bluebirdvision SO is there a possibility of my 05 Vison just starting up without warning if ther is a short in the switch?

@bluebirdvision What other buses can start themselves?

Unfortunately it seems that this engine is a Diesel Engine using Propane ! I would have preferred to have a gasoline type Engine using Spark Plugs ( such as the Denso TT iridium Plugs ) ! See: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YAQiFREQC3g.html @ 0:30

That's a '14 propane vision, Right?

Have fun wasting your money switching back to gasoline
