How much does it cost to register gas equipment?

Fine for gas equipment

HBO fine.
Gas equipment, what is the law? Is it necessary to register gas equipment with the traffic police?

Gas equipment for cars. What is the fine for installing gas equipment on a car?

without documents. Let's talk about this now. Hello, dear blog readers. Gasoline prices are constantly rising, which means car costs are rising and there is no escape from this. To reduce fuel costs when operating a car, some convert their cars to LPG equipment, which allows them to save on fuel.

Gas equipment can be installed on almost any car, but this must be done in accordance with current laws and regulations, otherwise you may receive a fine for illegal gas equipment. Or, what is much worse, lose your car as a result of a fire or explosion.

We’ll talk about the fire hazard of gas equipment another time, but today we’ll look at the laws regulating the installation of gas equipment and fines for using gas equipment in violation.

For illegal installation of gas equipment on a vehicle (vehicle), the car owner may be fined 500 rubles. Previously, until the summer of 2021, it was possible to drive a car with an unregistered gas pump without the risk of being fined.

Many motorists, having bought an LPG, installed it in their car and drove without problems. But now, from July 1, 2021, new lists of faults and conditions under which the operation of a vehicle is prohibited have been added to the traffic rules.

NOTES: paragraph 7. Other structural elements. 7.14 The technical parameters indicated on the outer surface of gas cylinders of cars and buses equipped with a gas power system do not correspond to the data in the technical passport; there are no dates for the last and planned inspection. 7.18 Changes have been made to the design of the vehicle without the permission of the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation or other bodies determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

From July 1, 2021, owners of cars with unregistered gas equipment will be fined for lack of permission to install gas equipment and lack of gas equipment inspection marks.

According to the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (Russian Code of Administrative Violations) N 195-FZ of December 30, 2001.

with change dated November 17, 2016, Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 12.5. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited 1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of a vehicle to operation and the responsibilities of officials to ensure road safety, the operation of a vehicle is prohibited, entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles.

The traffic police inspector who stopped your car and found this violation may fine you and remove you from driving this car. And the car should be placed in an impound lot, according to Article 27.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and Article 27.13. The LPG will definitely have to be dismantled, that is, removed from the car. To register gas equipment, you will first have to obtain an expert opinion that gas cylinders can be installed on the car.

Then go through a technical inspection to confirm the safety of the car, and then go to the traffic police again so that they make changes to the title and vehicle registration certificate. If you decide to install gas equipment on your car, keep in mind that the entire installation and registration procedure must comply with the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles” No. 877 dated December 9, 2011. Installation of HBO is permitted only in certified centers.

It is prohibited to install gas equipment yourself!

Let's summarize. can be in two cases: 1. in the PTS (vehicle passport) and STS (vehicle registration certificate) there is no mark on the installed gas equipment.

2. There is a note about gas equipment in the PTS and STS, but there are no documents (marks) on the periodic inspection of gas equipment and the inspection of gas cylinders. That's all for today. If you have legal questions, then ask them right now to a lawyer on the blog below in the form on the right and get an answer.

Next time it will be interesting for those who have finally decided on the new law. Don't let a fine for gas equipment overtake you!

The installation procedure for gas cylinder equipment when installing it on a car

After selecting gas equipment, you can begin installing it in the car. See detailed video instructions for installing 4th generation gas equipment below.

Before starting the installation, you need to decide on the mounting locations for the filling valve (usually under the bumper or in the area of ​​the gas tank filler neck) and the fuel switch button (gas/petrol) in the car interior.

During the installation of gas equipment, the battery must be disconnected from the vehicle's on-board network!

The first element of gas equipment that is installed on a car is a gas reducer . Its task is to reduce gas pressure and maintain constant pressure at the outlet of the reducer. The gearbox itself is mounted on fixed and stable elements in the engine compartment.

Then rubber hoses are connected to it, through which antifreeze is supplied from the engine cooling system to heat the gearbox during operation. In most cars, the connection to the cooling system should be in parallel, that is, between the engine block and the heater radiator (the so-called small circle).

Next, they usually install a solenoid valve , which is also attached to the car body (preferably as close as possible to the gearbox).

an electronic control unit or, as it is also called, a controller is mounted and connected To perform such work, you must have basic knowledge of the electrical system of a car and have a wiring diagram for the electronic gas control unit.

To simplify the task, you need to find a place in the car's wiring harness where you can simultaneously find all the signals:

• Signal from oxygen sensor (lambda probe);
• Petrol injector signal;
• Engine speed.

If you have a simple lambda probe, you need to connect to the signal wire in parallel (directly), and if a UEGO broadband probe is installed in the car, then you should connect in series by cutting the signal wire (see the video below).

Wiring to gasoline injectors can be done using a connector, or by soldering into the wiring harness. Typically, two electrical wires run from the fuel injection control unit to gasoline injectors: power and signal. To solder into the wiring, you should find the signal wires of the injectors, cut them and connect them according to the diagram.

The next signal that the gas control unit needs is engine speed. It can be found in the ignition coil wiring harness.

fuel switch is installed in the driver's cab. Several wires are connected to it:

1. “Plus” from the ignition switch: voltage on this line should appear when the ignition is turned on, and disappear when it is turned off;
2. Wires from the 16-pin OBDII diagnostic connector, according to the connection diagram.

In order to accurately determine the contacts of the OBDII diagnostic connector necessary for connection, a car scanner is first connected to it. Read more about what a car scanner is and how it can be useful to you here.

A very important operation when installing automotive gas equipment is drilling holes in the intake manifold for fittings (screws) from gas injectors. It is important that the holes are made in such a way that the fittings screwed into them are at the same angle as the gasoline injectors.

In the holes obtained in the intake manifold, threads are cut for gas fittings, and before screwing in the fittings themselves, a special sealant that is resistant to high temperatures is applied to their threads.

After screwing the fittings, gas hoses are put on them, which, in turn, are connected to gas injectors. These hoses must be the same length.

Gas injectors are designed to dose gas directly into the engine intake manifold. They are usually located on a common ramp and are mounted in close proximity to the engine intake manifold. Connecting the electrical connectors to the injectors is carried out in the same sequence as the connection of gasoline injectors previously made at the factory. In the photo below you can see the connected block of gas injectors.

The final purification of the gas entering the nozzle is provided by a vapor phase filter . It is installed directly behind the gearbox and is connected with an input to it and an output to the gas injector block.

Next, a hole is drilled in the common part of the intake manifold for a fitting for vacuum selection , after which a hose is put on the fitting screwed into it, which connects to the vacuum pipe of the gas reducer to regulate the performance of the latter.

The gas cylinder is usually selected based on the size of the spare wheel niche. In the niche there are two holes for bolts for attaching the cylinder and one large hole for the ventilation breather. To avoid corrosion, the resulting holes are treated with an anti-corrosion compound.

Before fixing the gas cylinder in the niche of the car, a multivalve . This unit is mounted in such a way that the gas level float moves from bottom to top. Next, the cylinder is placed in a niche and secured with two bolts.

The following are connected to the multivalve:

• Gas pipe (inlet) from the filling valve;
• Gas pipe (outlet) to the solenoid valve;
• Electrical wires for level indication and from the solenoid valve.

The ventilation breather is designed to remove possible gas leaks to the outside of the machine. It is inserted into the lower part of the gas cylinder and screwed to it with self-tapping screws, and from the bottom it is sealed so that water does not get under the cylinder.

When the main parts of the gas equipment are installed in the car, you can begin installing the gas pipes according to the installation diagram. All gas pipes are attached using metal clips and screws.

Electrical wires of the solenoid valve and gas level indicator are laid along the laid gas line, which are secured with clamping plastic ties.

At the final stage of installing LPG, a filling device (valve) is mounted on the vehicle. Three holes are drilled in a pre-selected location for this: one for the valve itself, and two for its fastening. After connecting to the gas pipe, the valve is installed in place and secured.

After completing the installation of gas equipment, a diagnostic scanner is connected to the gas control unit, which checks the correct reading of all parameters and performs auto-calibration of the equipment. Then, while the engine is running on gas, all connections are checked for leaks.

And in order for the car to operate correctly on gas fuel in any situation, it is necessary to configure the gas control system while driving (the so-called multiplier adjustment).

Installing LPG from professionals is a guarantee of savings and your safety. Only specialists who have undergone appropriate training can correctly install and configure gas equipment on a car.

In the video below you can clearly see the professional installation of gas equipment on a car and its configuration in a certified service center.

How to properly register for HBO

How to install gas equipment on a car
To avoid fines for gas equipment in 2021, everything must be properly completed and registered:

• obtain from the traffic police a document authorizing the installation of equipment;
• undergo an initial technical examination;
• install the gas system at an authorized service center;
• be tested again;
• make changes to the technical documentation for the vehicle;
• obtain registration documents from the traffic police.

In order to go through all these stages without any problems, you will need to collect a package of documents:

• a completed application to the State Traffic Inspectorate;
• vehicle registration certificate;
• car registration certificate;
• certificate for gas cylinder kit;
• technical inspection results;
• photo of the car before and after installing the gas system;
• certificate of examination performed;
• receipts for payment of state fees.

The absence of at least one document will be an obstacle to registration.

After making all the changes, you will need to regularly check the gas tanks and submit the car to the service center twice a year to monitor the performance of all components.

LPG manufacturers

First of all, we note that there are many LPG manufacturers represented on the international and Russian markets. Almost every year, new products appear in this area that make gas equipment more reliable, cheaper or more convenient to maintain and install.

You can follow trends in the field of gas equipment, for example, by participating in the exhibition, which this year is called “The 16th International Exhibition of Gas Cylinders, Gas Refueling Equipment and Gas Engine Fuel Equipment.” It is attended by the main manufacturers of equipment for gas equipment, who demonstrate their new products. In 2018, it takes place on October 23–25 in Moscow.

The price for a set of equipment varies and starts from 10 thousand rubles. The most budget-friendly of the branded LPG equipment sets is considered to be the products of the LPGTECH company. Components for gas equipment of this company are produced in Poland. However, some of the components included in the kit may be produced in some Asian country.

Another low-cost manufacturer of gas equipment widely represented in Russia is SECGAS. The fairly high quality of the gas equipment produced is complemented by a very budget price and the ability to “assemble” a set individually for each buyer, based on his financial capabilities.

One of the leaders among manufacturers of gas equipment, widely represented on the Russian market, is the Lovato company. This is an Italian company that is convenient both for gas equipment consumers and for the services that install it. For services it is convenient, first of all, due to its excellent distribution network, for consumers - good quality and a good price.

Among the manufacturers of gas equipment in the mid-price segment, one can also highlight the company BRC. The equipment of this company is produced in Italy and Argentina. Although, as mentioned above, the specific place of production of any manufacturer in our age of global markets is sometimes very difficult to determine.

The Gurtner company comes from France. Every year the company carries out innovative developments, supplementing and improving the line of spare parts for gas equipment.

One of the Russian manufacturers of gas equipment is the company Alpha (INTERGAZSERVICE), which is also the official representative of the brands Lovato, Tomasetto, Atiker, Semperit. The cost of an HBO kit from this manufacturer is about 18 thousand rubles.

Thus, the gas equipment market is very diverse. In addition to the companies mentioned above, the market contains both ultra-expensive kits and spare parts of not always clear origin. In practice, such diversity allows you to select a set of equipment for a client with almost any financial capabilities and requirements.

Fine for HBO. gas on cars new law

After all installation work is completed, you need to check the vehicle again. This time the subject of inspection is the compliance of the structurally modified car with safety requirements. If during the inspection the expert does not identify any inconsistencies, a certificate is issued.

The last step towards the legalization of HBO is its registration with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. First you need to collect a package of documents:

• car owner's passport;
• documents for the car (title and registration certificate);
• application for permission to install HBO;
• conclusion on the possibility of installing gas equipment;
• certificates for installed equipment;
• certificate of re-equipment of the vehicle.

In addition, you need to attach a diagnostic card showing the results of the extraordinary technical inspection.

How to obtain a certificate for installing gas equipment?

To do this, please contact our Center for help. Certification is carried out as follows:

• you submit an application in the prescribed form;
• We contact you online and by phone, tell you about all the details of the design;
• This is followed by the signing of a cooperation agreement - the terms of work are agreed upon during the consultation;
• after that you provide a package of necessary documents for study;
• experts conduct an audit of the company and make a decision on the compliance (or non-compliance) of the activities with the established requirements;
• If the provision of services fully complies with current standards, a certificate is issued.

Execution of documents for HBO, why you need to register

What to do if you receive a fine for a sold car?

First of all, for those who have already converted their car to use gas or are just planning to do so, it is important to know that it is necessary to register gas equipment with the traffic police, that is, the registration procedure must be completed without fail. Moreover, the registration procedure itself has become noticeably more complicated, since the new requirements provide for phased installation and registration of equipment

For those owners who have illegally installed gas equipment, a separate fine is provided. There are also problems with passing technical inspection. If the driver is fined for such equipment more than once, and attempts to evade legalization are also noted, the car may be deregistered, a restriction is imposed on registration activities with such a vehicle, etc.

Naturally, this became the subject of lively discussion among drivers. The reason is that previously, the installation of gas equipment was not always considered to be making serious changes to the design of a car and was regarded as the installation of additional equipment that did not affect traffic safety and operation.

Moreover, many, if desired, were able to relatively easily legalize the conversion of a car to run on gas, so registration was often carried out at the discretion of the traffic police officers themselves. The owner of the car submitted two certificates (forms 2A and 2B), and also wrote relevant statements.

However, later, after Technical Regulation No. 018/2011 “On the Safety of Wheeled Vehicles” of 2015 came into force, this became the cause of conflicts between owners of cars with gas equipment and traffic police officers. The fact is that although there are many unclear and controversial aspects in the law, it regulates a number of basic provisions.

Further improvements made it possible to clearly define the registration procedure and make it standardized throughout the Russian Federation. Naturally, after this, the traffic police began to actively fine owners of cars with illegal gas equipment. As a rule, the fine for making changes to the factory design of a car is 500 rubles.

However, that's not all. Owners often note that they are sent instructions to remove installed equipment and submit it for inspection. If this is not done, the car may be deregistered. Also, traffic police officers often work in conjunction with technical supervision specialists, which allows them to give an opinion on the illegal conversion of a car to run on gas.

As of 2021, the situation has not changed. Drivers continue to be fined if gas equipment is installed illegally or gas cylinders are used that have not been tested, the inspection was not carried out within the established time frame, etc. It is also a violation when the cylinders are poorly secured.

What to do if a car was purchased with LPG?

Owners of equipment purchased with previously installed equipment can do the following:

1. Continue to take risks by driving a car with or without old documents, periodically remove the cylinder, injectors and gearbox before undergoing maintenance, and when driving in the city, act according to the situation.
2. Put in order the existing gas equipment and documentation for it, or replace it, or inspect it. All these actions are carried out; installation organizations can supply used equipment, since this is not prohibited by law. Then the traffic police officers will be able to prove that the HBO was installed legally.
3. Remove the equipment and do not use it further, thereby giving up saving on fuel.
4. Remove the HBO, and then install it according to the new rules, passing all examinations, etc.

Is it worth installing HBO with such difficulties?

Car owners who have converted their car and done everything correctly save a lot of money on fuel. In addition, a gas-powered car has many advantages:

1. Gas fuel, unlike gasoline, does not remove oil from the cylinder walls. This has a good effect on the operation of the cylinder-piston group.
2. The service life of the engine increases, since it does not mix with gasoline, which makes the oil more liquid over time.
3. If the gas equipment is connected correctly, the motor runs much quieter; major repairs will need to be done at a longer interval.
4. Gas is much more environmentally friendly. When burned, much less harmful elements are released. Therefore, the toxicity level of gas-powered cars corresponds to the norm, and there will be no problems during the next checks.
5. Gas fuel is suitable for high-speed power plants due to the fact that it has a high octane number. Of great importance is the fact that the gas-air mixture is less susceptible to detonation in the cylinders.
6. Not all car owners are aware of another benefit of gas fuel: after it runs out, the car can still “hold out” for up to 3 km before refueling.
7. A bi-fuel car has the ability to switch to gasoline at any moment. If you have a full tank of gasoline and gas, you can cover long distances without additional refueling. This is relevant when you have to travel where there are few gas stations or where the fuel is of poor quality.

Thus, connecting to a gas system has significant advantages that relate to issues such as engine operation, fuel costs, and environmental friendliness.

The latest gas cylinder installations from serious manufacturers do not require much intervention in the engine. Modern electronic control systems allow you to use gas economically. Therefore, it is easier for car owners who installed gas equipment before 2021 to dismantle the old, morally “tired” one and install a new one in accordance with all the rules. In this case, there is no fine for HBO.

How to do everything legally and avoid a fine

Those who already have the equipment installed will have a more difficult time, since there are no documents on hand initially.

If you already have HBO installed, you will need to go through the following steps:

• Remove the previously installed HBO;
• Contact a certified organization for a special conclusion, which indicates that the installation can be installed on the vehicle;
• Obtain a permit to carry out work from the traffic police;
• Reinstall the cylinders in an organization that has the appropriate license;
• Carry out an unscheduled technical inspection of a vehicle converted to a new type of fuel;
• The traffic police should make changes to the technical passport of the car.

Those who want to install equipment for the first time need to follow the same algorithm, excluding the first point.

How much does installation cost with registration in the traffic police?

The cost of MREO traffic police services for changing the technical document of a car is 850 rubles, and a new certificate costs 500 rubles. This is quite a troublesome task, but inexpensive.

The least expensive option in terms of money and time is to install gas equipment from an official dealer. Unfortunately, this is only possible when purchasing a new car ex-showroom. Otherwise, the manufacturer's warranty does not apply to the transport.

It is important that when preparing documents, the numbers on the cylinders strictly coincide with the numbers in the registration certificate, because this is also a reason to check

How much will it cost to install HBO?

The installation price directly depends on the type of engine. The more modern the engine, the more expensive the equipment, but the less fuel per 100 km of travel. The following is a table of approximate costs for the main 5 generations of HBO:

• 1st generation from $150, installed on low-injection and carburetor engines;
• 2nd generation from $250 for old type injection engines;
• 3rd generation from $400 for the same type of engines, but more economical. Almost forgotten, not used by anyone;
• 4th generation from $550 for modern engines without direct injection. It is the most common at the moment, used in the equipment of 80-90% of cars;
• 5th generation from $1500 for the most modern engines, they allow you to significantly save gas and do not affect the power of the car.

When installing gas equipment, it is necessary to check that the installer has a special license; this will serve as a guarantee of high-quality work.

Rules for registering HBO in the traffic police 2021

Many motorists are switching to LPG for economic reasons. A simple financial calculation will lead a person to think about refusing to use gasoline, due to the constant increase in prices for this fuel. Owners of vehicles with high mileage per day immediately feel the economic benefit. An important point is that the car owner is aware of the procedure for registering gas equipment and the list of necessary documents to complete this procedure.

Any change in the design of your car leads to mandatory registration with the traffic police. Installing LPG is a key re-equipment of the machine. Therefore, a trip to the inspection is inevitable. Why are new registration rules needed? The constant growth of cars with installed gas equipment requires government regulation of the issue of proper operation of the units. By the way, this is a matter of your own safety.

Today, there is a clear explanation of the list of necessary documents provided by the car owner to carry out car conversion. Specialists will require you to submit a list of the following documents in order to register gas equipment, namely

1. Statement. A competently stated official request for permission to replace specific vehicle documentation.
2. The original vehicle passport and additionally a photocopy of it.
3. Car passport, to confirm the legal right to own this movable property.
4. Identification. It is best to have a passport with permanent registration information.

The next two stages:

• getting permission;
• installation of HBO in a car.

One more step. Now the traffic police provide:

1. a comprehensive package of documents for installed gas equipment, obtained strictly from a government source;
2. a list of technical work performed as a result of the re-equipment of vehicles;
3. certificate of conformity (copy) issued by the technical company that carried out the installation;
4. auto diagnostic card;
5. application for the order of testing in the designated laboratory;
6. photo of the car engine before installation of the system;
7. photo of the engine with installed equipment;
8. document confirming payment for the mandatory technical examination (receipt).

For those who do not need to register for HBO at the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate:

• If the car came from the factory with LPG
• HBO has already been installed and meets current requirements
• The technical passport of the car provides for the procedure for converting to LPG

What fine does a driver face for installing an LPG without documents?

Previously, it was necessary to try hard to ensure that the conversion of a car to run on gas was carried out legally. In 2015, some things changed in the legislation and the questions of whether it is necessary to register a car’s gas equipment with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate and how to pass a technical inspection became a little clearer, but not completely.

After some time, a law was introduced that clearly established the requirements for changes in the design of vehicles. But even then everything was not settled normally. But today everything has changed, and for everyone who does not know whether gas equipment needs to be registered with the traffic police in Russia in 2021, let us say without a doubt that the time when the issue could not be resolved normally is, fortunately, over. From now on, the procedure is developed to the smallest detail. Attitude of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate towards HBO In some regions of Russia, fines of 500 rubles are provided for changes in the design of a vehicle provided by the manufacturer.

If he violates this rule, he will be required to pay a fine for HBO. In addition to the fact that the driver is fined for using LPG without documents in 2021, he is also required to obtain permits for installation.

10 days are given for this. If he does not do this, then a second fine for unregistered HBO is not provided. Instead, the owner may be prohibited from operating the car or imprisoned for 15 days.

In 2021, the ban on driving a vehicle comes down to the fact that traffic police officers cancel the car’s registration and take it to an impound lot. And the owner has a huge number of problems with restoring registration. Installation procedure Unregistered gas equipment provokes a large number of problems, including administrative liability for gas equipment without registration. Therefore, the law should be followed and the system should be established according to the established rules.

• application for the traffic police (original and copy);
• vehicle registration certificate;
• certificate confirming vehicle registration;
• equipment certificate;
• THAT;
• photos of the car before and after installation;
• expert opinion;
• papers confirming payment for the examination.

The system installation procedure pays for itself in several years, so there is no need to save money and re-equip the car yourself. However, regardless of the reasons for this rise in price, drivers are forced to use fuel with a lower cost in order to save money. If a car with a hydrogen engine or an electric generator is not your goal, then take a closer look at gas-cylinder equipment.

An LPG built into a car does not in any way affect the loss of dynamic characteristics and allows the car to function without interruption on liquid fuel and gas. 6 generations of LPG have been developed, often using methane or propane-butane. The fourth generation gas equipment is the most common system, since its installation does not affect other structural elements of the machine.

Do you need to register gas equipment? Many do not know for sure whether it is necessary to register gas equipment on a car with the traffic police. Previously, the installation of gas cylinders was not considered a structural change to the car.

Features and characteristics of HBO

LPG equipment is a set of devices designed for equipping vehicles that previously ran on gasoline. With its help, the car runs on propane or methane. It is easy to find at almost any gas station. The principle of its operation is to optimize processes so that the internal combustion engine operates efficiently on gas without major changes. There are only a few versions of HBO on the market:

1. Injection. It is installed on motors of the same type; its distinctive feature is the supply of gas under pressure.
2. Ejector. This type is mounted on carburetor systems, where gas is taken in by the carburetor itself.

The main advantages of gas equipment are the ability to use low-cost fuel and reduce the load on key equipment units. Its payback is quite high, which increases the demand for installation. To implement the plan, a specialized organization with a license is involved, which uses only high-quality, proven installations from well-known brands.

Attention! But if you do not register gas equipment for your car with government agencies, then there is a high probability of penalties for illegal installation. You should familiarize yourself with the procedure in advance to avoid adverse consequences. If everything is done correctly and consistently, then there will be no problems.

Registration of HBO, registration procedure and necessary documents

To register gas equipment, you will need the following steps:

1. Obtaining permission for reconstruction (from a certified car service center).
2. Submitting an application for the installation of gas equipment and providing the vehicle for technical inspection (at the traffic police).
3. Installation of gas equipment in a car service center with receipt of a package of documents, including a conclusion of the vehicle’s compliance with the Technical Regulations and a copy of the certificate for gas equipment.
4. Passing a second technical inspection at the traffic police (with a gas cylinder already installed).
5. Receive a diagnostic card indicating the changes.
6. Obtaining a Certificate of Vehicle Compliance with Safety Requirements (issued by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate).
7. Payment of the state fee for making changes and issuing a new Certificate.
8. Visiting the MREO with all the necessary documents in order to submit an application for amendments to the registration documents.
9. Receiving ready documents.

Yes, you will need to do a lot of physical movements: what is the cost of repeated visits to the traffic police and a certified company. But there is also good news. For an additional fee, some car services make life easier for the car owner, taking all the worries about the registration procedure upon themselves.

Now about the documents required for registration. To obtain a technical examination certificate you will need:

• application for replacement of technical documentation (original with a copy);
• registration documents;
• copy and original of the vehicle passport;
• document of ownership of the car;
• passport or other identification document.

After the conversion, to change the technical documentation you will also need:

• application for testing at a testing laboratory;
• documentation for gas equipment;
• a copy of the certificate of the company involved in the installation of gas equipment;
• diagnostic card;
• photo of the car before and after reconstruction;
• receipt confirming payment of the state fee for the last technical inspection.

Operation of a car with gas equipment and the frequency of its checks

HBO is a fire-hazardous system, so regular inspection is necessary. The frequency of the latter depends on the timing of the inspection of the cylinder specified in the passport and modification of the equipment. Typically, monitoring is carried out every two years. Based on its results, a new certificate is issued, which indicates the deadline for a new inspection.

The use of “expired” gas cylinders is strictly prohibited. It is also necessary to ensure that they are fastened correctly to prevent gas leakage. Each component of gas equipment must have a certificate and inspection report.

Price of the issue: how much will it cost to register HBO?

In the process of registering an LPG car, the owner will have to fork out a fair amount. The cost of re-registration of a car after reconstruction is shown in the table:

In addition, for technical expertise, repeated technical inspection, and possible dismantling of a previously installed gas equipment, you will have to pay about ten thousand rubles.

Fines and sanctions

It’s interesting, but HBO needs to be registered not only by those who decided to install it, but also by those who have been using it for a long time. And this is dismantling, a photo of a car without a cylinder, reassembly. The costs speak for themselves. But letting everything take its course and driving like this is also not an option. There is a system of fines for the illegal use of gas cylinders. By the way, sanctions also apply to those who violate the rules for operating gas equipment.

The average fine is 500 rubles. But this relates to the primary fact of establishing a violation. If the owner of a car is caught with an illegally installed gas equipment again, he faces a fine of 5,000 rubles. In addition, the owner of the car will lose his license, and in some cases, he will be deprived of liberty for a period of 15 days.

The inspection was postponed until 2021: truth and speculation

Car enthusiasts forums are full of messages about the possible postponement of LPG testing until 2021. But the traffic police do not confirm this information. Therefore, register gas cylinders rather than rely on chance: the punishment for repeated violations is truly severe.

Documents for starting a business installing gas equipment

At the first stage, it is necessary to register a company for installing gas equipment. For this business, both a limited liability company and registration as an individual entrepreneur (IP) are suitable. We recommend choosing to register as an individual entrepreneur, since the registration process itself in this case is somewhat simpler, as are the periodic reports submitted.

Decide in advance how you will submit reports to the tax authorities, the social insurance fund and the pension fund. There is no need to hire a separate accountant; you can invite a combined accountant or contact a specialized outsourcing accounting company. This company will not only handle accounting, but also submit all necessary reports, maintain personnel records and calculate taxes.

It is better to choose one of two taxation systems: a patent or a single tax on imputed income (UTII). Both the first and second options have their pros and cons. Please note that the patent is only available to individual entrepreneurs. What is more profitable must be calculated based on the specific data of your region. To do this, it is advisable to contact a specialized accounting company and order calculations.

The estimated amount of UTII for a gas equipment installation service with a staff of five employees will be about 120 thousand rubles per year. You have the opportunity to reduce the amount received for payment by 50% of the insurance premiums paid for your employees.

The amount of tax when applying the patent tax system for this type of business activity, for example, in the city of Rostov-on-Don, for 12 months will be 125,280 rubles. The tax amount is paid in two payments - the first payment is equal to 41,760 rubles no later than ninety calendar days after the patent begins to be valid, the second payment is equal to 83,520 rubles no later than the expiration date of the patent.

As you can see, there is no big difference in the amount of taxes paid. You can calculate the exact amount of taxes under the first and second options for your region and the selected number of employees on the Federal Tax Service website.

Since, probably, in addition to installing gas equipment, your business will provide other services to car owners, select in advance the full list of OKVED codes that may be required. You must select the following codes:

• OKVED code 45.20.1 “Maintenance and repair of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles”
• OKVED code 45.3 “Trade of automobile parts, assemblies and accessories”

It is advisable for personnel installing gas equipment to obtain a certificate of completion of training in the specialty “Fitter for installation of automobile gas equipment.” Such courses are conducted by various organizations. Essentially, employees need to obtain a certificate of training for a gas installation technician. In some cases, such training can be completed remotely. As a rule, the duration of the courses is 1-2 weeks. The cost of courses varies depending on the region of training. Please note that the training center has the necessary license to conduct such certification.

Next, you need to obtain a certificate for the right to carry out work on installing gas equipment, issued by an accredited certification body. To obtain a certificate, the following documents are required:

1. TIN certificate.
2. Certificate OGRN, OGRIP.
3. Certificate of ownership or lease agreement for the premises.
4. Certificate of training for a gas equipment installation technician.

Obtaining a certificate can also be entrusted to a specialized company that provides relevant services. In this case, the cost of obtaining a certificate will be from 5-7 thousand rubles.

We recommend that you carefully read GOST 31972-2013 “Motor vehicles. The order and procedures of control methods for the installation of gas equipment (with Amendment)”, which will regulate your activities.

Additionally, you may need to obtain the following certificates and permits: permission to re-examine CNG cylinders; permission to re-examine LPG (propane) cylinders; Certificate of an Authorized Representative for Technical Expertise of Vehicles.

A license is not required to carry out gas equipment installation activities.

As a rule, additional permits from the SES and fire inspection are not required for your type of business when opening, but everything may vary individually depending on the region. However, the requirements of both the first and second authorities must be observed.

Additionally, the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor must be observed. In this article, we cannot list all the requirements that these organizations put forward for car services, since they relate to everything: ventilation, lighting, volume and area per worker, the presence of showers and toilets, and even the minimum distance to the nearest body of water. And also much more. However, in practice these requirements are often not observed so strictly.

At the first stage, you need to familiarize yourself with two main documents regulating the activities of car services, including stations for the installation and maintenance of gas equipment:

1. “Rules for the provision of services (performance of work) for maintenance and RAMTS”, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation.
2. GOST R 51709-2001 “Motor vehicles. Safety requirements for technical condition and verification methods."

Innovations in legislation

Until 2021, obtaining permits for the installation of gas equipment from traffic inspection authorities was not mandatory, since a mechanism for making changes to vehicles had not yet been developed. But now such changes are regulated by the law “On Vehicle Safety” (as amended on January 1, 2016 by the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union). And they are possible subject to technical expertise.

Inspections are carried out by specialized companies, where the vehicle is checked for the possibility of making structural additions and changes in accordance with safety requirements. Installation of gas equipment can be legally done after obtaining permission from the traffic police and only in certified car repair shops.

According to the new law, car owners who have installed gas equipment are required to obtain a certificate of compliance with safety standards when replacing factory parts and components of a vehicle, as well as when repairing gas equipment or dismantling it. In the absence of a certificate, driving a car on gas is prohibited; this is considered an administrative violation, which is punishable by a fine.

You should know! For vehicle models on which the manufacturer provides for the installation of gas equipment and indicates this in the technical documentation, registration with control authorities is not required. Car owners who installed gas equipment before 2021 also fall under this provision of the law, but with the caveat that the installation was carried out in accordance with safety standards, and there is appropriate documentation for this.

You can also hear the following question: is it allowed to operate a car with a new gas equipment if the permit is only in the process of registration? In such cases, the law does not prohibit driving a vehicle, since the basis is the statement of the driver, a copy of which he must have with him.
