We offer the fitment of both sequential gas systems to petrol cars and D-Gas gas injection systems for diesel vehicles. The advantages of LPG are: - For petrol vehicles the cost of filling the tank is much less, due to LPG being approximately 50% the cost of petrol. We offer the fitment of sequential injected gas systems as these systems do not suffer the power loss and excessive LPG consumption of the earlier-style "Spud" LPG systems which use a restrictive venturi to draft in the LPG gas. Our testing has shown that injected LPG systems will give almost identical (and in some cases a gain in) performance compared to petrol systems. Thanks to the use of the latest gas injection systems avaliable we are also able to offer "split-fuel" capability in our gas conversions, which means that under heavy load a small percentage of petrol is injected with the gas mixture. The advantage of this is that power is increased when it is needed, and the valve recession problem of older systems is avoided, removing the need to use valve lube products. For this reason, we do not fit older "spud" style systems, however we offer tuning and repairs for those using older systems. -For diesel vehicles we use a system which injects up to 25% LPG on top of the diesel mixture (the original diesel injection pump in most cases is unaltered) which gives increased power and torque, on average around 20-30%. Diesel LPG injection, in some cases, can also help to increase fuel economy by allowing the diesel a cleaner and more efficient burn. Please note that we only offer LPG injection on turbocharged diesels, as we have found from experience that LPG injection on non-turbo vehicles does not serve to offer a very cost effective gain for the monetary outlay. We suggest that owners of non-turbo diesels first look at a turbo conversion instead.
