The engine 305ci has an anti-pollution carburetor computer controlled
(CCC). ) It
has an O2 sensor like fuel injected engines in Europe. This sensor indicates
to the Electronic Computer Unit the presence of oxygen remaining in exhaust

to optimise air-gasoline mixture. The LPG ECU uses this sensor to regulate
propane by operating a stepper motor.
