Dear swoop223:

I am aware that elsewhere the fuel savings are probably marginal, but here in the Philippines the savings are significant.

There is a 25% difference (per liter or gallon) in the price of LPG and that of ordinary Number 2 diesel.

So merely replacing some of the diesel with LPG will produce savings.

Furthermore there is the improvement in power and combustion efficiency.

The more complete burn means the remaining diesel fuel injected will be better utilized.

The extra power will mean that I won't have to step on it harder for the same performance and we all know that results in better fuel economy.

I am also reducing the delivery of diesel so that more of the engine's power will be produced by the LPG.

The ratio of LPG vs diesel is between 1:3 and 1:5 for best results.

I am doing this not just as a personal project but for many other reasons.

The more complete burn will result in much lower emissions and less engine oil contamination for soot.

The extra power will be more than welcome - one can't have enough power, can one?

I am co-owner of a repair shop and we can offer this mod to our customers.

I thank you for your interest and concern, and if you give me your e-mail address I will post some pictures of this project.

Fact of the week
Portugal was the first country to implement a nationwide, automatic electronic toll collection system. This system allows vehicles to pass through toll booths without stopping, significantly improving traffic flow on highways.
