Q. Why Gas? The idea of injecting gas 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 mixers or sensors that had to be installed on the engine and adjusted under the hood, making them improbable for everyday use.
Gas burns cleaner and in turn your engine runs cleaner, cooler and longer. The engine's response is quick, smooth and powerful.
Q. Why does it work so well? Gas acts as a "catalyst" when combined with diesel fuel. When gas is added to diesel fuel, almost 100% of the fuel is burned (as opposed to approximately 75% without gas injection) which is what gives you the "eCo-shot" of torque, horsepower and fuel economy.
Q. How much increased torque and power can I expect? Horsepower and torque will increase from 20% to 60%
Q. Will it help my mileage? YES!! Fuel economy is increased significantly. You can expect a 20 to 30% reduction in fuel usage depending on your driving style.
Q. Can I use the eCo-shot™ for towing heavy loads? YES!! You will enjoy using the eCo-shot for towing. (Remember you should never tow more than your vehicle is rated for or hold the throttle wide open for extended periods.)
Q. Can eCo-shot™ be used with other aftermarket performance products for diesel powered vehicles? YES!! The eCo-shot system 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.
Q. Does the eCo-shot™ increase EGT Temperatures? Only by about 50° or less, in some instances it actually decreases EGT temps. Q. Will LPG damage my engine long term? Not from what these examples show us! The eCo-shot work Ute was purchased and fitted with gas in March of 2007. It had 190,000k’s on the clock. Now, we have added another 150,000k’s to it with eCo-shot installed and has not missed a beat.
We fitted an '83 Benz truck with an eCo-shot over 7 years ago. It has now driven over 800,000k’s with the gas on. It also has never missed a beat.
Q. Why do I need eCo-shot™?
The
eCo-shot
LPG
injection
system
is
for
turbo
diesel
owners
who
are
looking
for
more
power
when
towing,
increased
fuel
mileage
and
throttle
responsiveness
out
of
their
vehicles. The eCo-shot comes on slow and steady and as the boost increases, so does the flow of gas.
more boost = more gas = more power!
Q. How does eCo-shot™work? The eCo-shot LPG Injection System is boost pressure activated, injecting gas 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.
Q. I drive a lot around town, but on weekends tow the boat, does effect my requirements? In a simple word "NO"! Driving around town... You will love how responsive the pedal is with eco-shot fitted, you'll think it’s a petrol motor. The increased pulling power is great, eco-shot makes those big hills seem a lot smaller. We have a couple of guys doing some very serious competitive off road, they really appreciate the extra grunt eco-shot gives them. This is where eco-shot comes into its own. No matter how big the load or how far you travel, truck owners will save 1000’s of dollars each year and appreciate the extra power they get from eco-shot.
Q. What safety features does eCo-shot™ have? |
