Hillriver Ltd are progressing well with their CTL200 LPG fill valve incorporating an electronic fuel level sensor and 80 per cent fuel shut off.

The CTL200 represents an important technological advance in the autogas industry. It replaces the inaccurate and dated mechanical system currently in use by a sophisticated solid-state level sensing system.

Certification in accordance with European Regulation E67R-01 is expected shortly for a version for the Dutch market. A design for a multi-valve version for the Italian market is under way.

Discussions are being held with potential partners with a view to entering the substantial market in Italy where over one million multi-valves are produced annually and where one-third of new cars sold are powered by autogas. It is believed that the CTL200 can capture a large part of this market.
