How
does it work?
The Propane
Injection system is boost pressure activated, injecting propane in increasing
amounts as the boost pressure level of the engine increases, producing
power you are guaranteed to feel behind the wheel. This innovative
design is only activated when the vehicle ignition is on and the engine
is running, a distinct safety advantage. The injection system is controlled
by an illuminated on/off switch located inside the cab, giving the
driver full control of system operations. A vehicle mounted tank approx.
25% of vehicle fuel tank capacity is required. (Tanks sold separately)
Why
Propane?
The idea of injecting propane
as a secondary fuel in turbo diesel engines has been widely used for
many years and is not a new idea. However many of the earlier systems
contained complicated propane mixers or sensors that had to be installed
on the engine and adjusted under the hood, making them improbable for
everyday use. (The system is controlled by a simple illuminated
on/off switch inside the cab.) Propane burns cleaner and cooler, and
in turn your engine runs cleaner, cooler and longer. The engine's response
is quick, smooth and powerful.
Why
does it work so well?
Propane acts as a "catalyst" when
combined with diesel fuel. When propane is added to diesel fuel, almost
100% of the fuel is burned (as opposed to approximately 75% without propane injection) which is
what gives you the "powershot" of torque, horsepower and
fuel economy.
How
much increased torque and power can I expect?
Horsepower and torque will
increase from 25% to 60%
Is
it hard to install?
Detailed installation instructions are provided with every propane
injection system sold. Each component is permanently and clearly labeled
for easy installation. Installations on most applications should not
exceed two hours. Technical assistance is also available from 12-6
PST.
Will
it help my mileage?
YES!! Fuel economy is increased
significantly. You can expect an increase of 2-3 mpg depending on your
driving style.
Can
I use the it for towing heavy loads?
YES! You will enjoy using
the system for towing. (Remember you should never tow
more than your truck is rated for or hold the throttle wide open for
extended periods.)
Does
it increase EGT Temperatures?
Only by about 50° or less
in some instances it actually decreases EGT temps.
Can
it be used with other aftermarket performance
products for diesel trucks?
Yes, it is
the perfect addition and will only further enhance the performance
of chips, exhaust systems etc. It can also be used on stock turbo diesels
as the only performance accessory.
What
kind of a tank do I need?
A securely mounted
DOT approved certified propane tank, available at most RV and propane
dealers, at least 25% of your vehicle fuel capacity. If a vertical
tank is used, the tank must be securely mounted in the upright position
only. A 20lb tank should be good for a range of at least 500
miles depending on your driving style.
Will
it void my vehicle warranty?
Aftermarket products designed
to improve performance should not affect your manufactures warranty.
Should your vehicle require a trip to the dealer for routine maintenance
or repairs, the system is easily removable and labeled
for ease in reinstalling.
