Diesel LPG Injection 25% more power!

Personally, jokes aside, if I wanted to blend in another fuel, it would be a bio tank. Prices aren't going to stop, and making your own will become popular.

Very true.

Hi Guys,
The gas acts as a catyalyst in the cylinder, causing ALL the oil to ignite annd burn..which is why there is an increase in performance.

A good site.

Friend told me about this last night, would love to see it done on a modern high performance diesel!

I would be interested in hearing the long term effects on diesel engines. Many 4WDers have converted their mechanical injection engines to LPG, apparently with no long term effect, but my local fitter has expressed some concern over the engine lubrication, implying early engine failures because the LPG is so dry (lower lubrocity?). However combine biodiesel (higher lubrocity than petro-diesel) with LPG, you could be on to a winner. I am told the combination of LPG with diesel gives higher efficiency because the LPG acts both as a fuel and a catalyst allowing for reduced fuel per km, the combination of the two fuels being greater than the two fuels burnt separately. However, as in all these things be wary of inflated claims!

At the dealership I used to work at, a customer used to bring a Tiguan there that was running a diesel/LPG setup. It should have done well over 120,000klms by now, with no issues.

The quality of the installation left a lot to be desired, though.

Generally your only adding 10-15% LPG in, so lubrication shouldnt be an issue.

And best to fit a pyrometer, only way to tune for best results and to make sure its safe.
