What a
tremendous system! I could really feel the effects and the numbers on
the fuel economy improved substantially. Hopefully, when we get a
minute I will take some pictures and send them to you. The install
went smooth and came out really good. Because the tank is enclosed in
a steel box, you can't even tell that the truck is propane enriched,
which is the way I want to keep it. Fueling is easy at the Flying J.
You were great help and so willing to listen every time I called (about
20 times). I will keep tweaking the valves until I get the best
possible mileage and let you know how it performs when I hit the
optimum settings.
Thanks again for all your help.
The economy-meter in the truck is turning some really good mileage numbers. I
checked our mileage last night and we are getting over 2 MPG better
mileage, so the system is really doing a great job. I told an old
trucking buddy about it and he was very impressed. He works with a guy
that owns 30 straight trucks and is thinking about putting systems on
them. This system makes our business quite a bit more profitable so
the next time we are in Detroit, we will have to take you guys out to
lunch!
Yours truly,

Just
a short message to say, many thanks for quick delivery, and what a
great product, works right out of the box. It fits as you say in two
hours!
I would recommend this product to anybody. It's just simple and very effective.
Thanks again,

2.8L Isuzu - Australia
Thanks
for your prompt service, I received my system last week and fitted it
in the very same weekend and it was very easy to install. Just letting
you know how it goes on my 2.8 Isuzu," It is bloody fantastic!" The
extra power comes in at 5 lb boost you and you can feel it! I will let
you know in a few weeks about fuel savings etc...
I can't stop
telling people about it. I can tell you I would have paid lots more
without the unit installed. So like I said, once I have had it on a few
weeks I will know what it is like on fuel. I drove to work today with
it on then home with it off and thought I had a different 4x4. I will
have to be careful as it is very easy to go over the speed limit which
is 100 KPH, a 60 KPH in built up areas and I am so pleased with it. I
can't wait to hook the boat up this coming weekend to see how much
better it tows.
Till next time, thanks again! Peter Davie
PS-
current fuel stats, are 700 klms to 70 liters of diesel traveling to
and from work which is about 55 klms per day. Cost about $52 Aus.
Colin 1991 4.2L 1991 Nissan Safari - New Zealand
I
ordered a system off you guys in January this year - just thought I'd
let you know I'm very impressed. Excellent instructions, easy to fit,
easy to tune and massive gains with tuning. My 4.2 liter 6-cylinder
diesel now pumps 322 bhp and torque above 1100 ft-lbs at the rear
wheels. It runs like a v8 and hasn't shown any signs of getting hot.
I've been raving about the kit on pirate 4x4.com and giving people your URL - hope you get some business out of it.
I'd
be interested in becoming the New Zealand distributor for the product
and running it through the certification process down here - are you
interested in this at all - let me know.
Thanks again, Colin Brewer
Wayne 2.4 TDI Land Cruiser - Canada
I
got the kit, performed a clean install and tested it. It dropped 3
seconds off the 0-100 km/hr times and dropped 9 sec off the 0-140 km/hr
times. Very impressive. Still have black smoke coming from the exhaust
under full throttle but it helped with all other black smoke. The
engine runs quieter and smoother. It dropped the EGTS negligently.
On
an added note, I just got back from a trip from Calgary, Alberta to
Pismo Beach, CA - a 5800 km trip. There were mountain passes, flat
prairies and speeds unheard of in a Cruiser! At times I was cruising at
90 mph! Most cruisers are lucky to squeeze 65 mph out of them. The fuel
economy came up about 3 mpg even with the larger tires when I drove 60
mph.
Cheers - Wayne

I
installed the propane injection system yesterday and it does everything
that they advertise. I can't say anything about the other propane
systems out there, but the system comes on real smooth and delivers the
propane in a very drive able way. The power comes on so smooth that you
don't realize it, until you shut the system off. Then you think to
yourself this thing rocks!
The propane is regulated by the
amount of boost you apply to it, the more boost the more propane. There
is an adjustable boost valve that is installed in the cab, so you can
vary the amount of power that you want. A real neat feature.
I had to be convinced that this was a good system and after many phone calls, I believe that it is. I'm still fine tuning the system, to fit my needs a little better. But over all this system is worth every dollar. My EGTs appear to have remained the same.

The system has been installed on our baby I just within the last week
had a chance to use it pulling the trailer. The power difference is
phenomenal. Pulling a fairly steep grade here locally from a dead stop
(why do they always put a stop light at the bottom of a steep hill) the
pickup performance was greatly appreciated.
Keep in mind that
our truck weighs 13,500 and the trailer is an additional 15,000. While
pulling the trailer my average mpg was between 8.25 and 8.75 mpg before
the installation. Using the system I noted an average mpg of 10.0.
Still the mpg is not the exciting issue, when you purchase a rig this
size you are aware that you did not purchase it for its economy. You
buy a truck this size for the power to go and the oomph to stop. While
it has always had the stopping power, there were the times that I felt
it could use a little more power when facing a steep grade or a strong
head wind.
It is this seat of the pants power that I am very
pleased and astounded with. My EGTs (pre-turbo) stay about the same,
maybe a little lower. Boost builds much quicker. I look forward to
using the system over a long trip soon, and will report the results as
soon as I do.
I mounted the tank in a box on the rear of the bed
it makes for a nice clean install. I do need a larger tank, but since I
use the system on an as needed basis I can upgrade later.
If
you would like a few photos of the system installed let me know and I
will be happy to take a few shots and forward them. Many thanks for the
great product and the exceptional customer service extended after the
sale. Should you have any potential customers that have any questions I
would be happy to serve as a reference.

I
have the propane system on my VW Jetta TDI and it works great! This is
a vapor system. I installed it last November and have put over 15,000
miles on the Jetta since it was installed. No problems to date. If you
are conservative with your feed rate, you should have no problem with
detonation or "backfiring". Based on some top gear acceleration
runs (45 mph to 65 mph), I have gotten about a 40 percent increase in
torque with the propane compared to stock (between about 1600 rpm and
2300 rpm). The kit comes with different sized orifices and the boost
pressure at which the propane is actuated can be adjusted. I've run as
much as 3500 miles on one tank (mine is 2.5 gallons) of propane. I also
seem to be getting about a 10 percent increase in fuel mileage
(diesel).
Russ Smith
We had your propane infusion system installed on our motor home recently and will bring you up to date on the results.
Our
installer Huffenberger Restorations modified the settings from your
stock settings for this application. After testing it was determined
that the maximum turbo boost pressure was only 9 LB. so the point
propane starts to flow was reduced to about 3 LB. The maximum propane
flow at full throttle was also reduced a little. Our motorhome is
very under powered so the power increase was dramatic, and it was a
noticeable improvement. We are now able to maintain speed, and even
accelerate on modest grades. Those are driving conditions under which
we would have slowly lost speed in the past. The real improvement was
on those long steep 6 to 7% mountain grades. Where we would have topped
out at 25-35 MPH in second gear we not top out at 40-45 MPH in third
gear. The hill or wind conditions that would have dropped our speed to
45-50 in third gear we now handle at 55-60 MPH in overdrive. In many
respects it drives like a different motorhome, which has really added
to our sense of safety and pleasure.
We have been using a very
modest quantity of propane, on the order of one gallon of propane per
72 miles. This includes domestic use of propane for the refrigerator
and cooking. I would guess the actual propane use may be less than one
gallon per 80 miles if domestic use is not considered. The fuel mileage
has increased 1 to 2.5 MPG and has been under heavy load conditions
with little improvement when under light load. Is this what should be
expected?
My question is; could the propane use be bumped up? If
so, should it come in at a lower boost pressure or should maximum
propane flow be increased? Or, should I just leave the settings as is.
All in all we are very pleased with the results and have recommended your system to a number of other Isuzu Trek owners!

Well
me and the wife and two dogs just finished our trip to the Easter Jeep
Safari and had a blast. The Motor home ran like a champ and we Got
between 14-15 Mpg at an AVG. of 70-75 MPH once we were out of Calif.
Stupid 55 MPH law for trucks and cars pulling trailers)The Motor home
was a loaded down and pulling close to 7000 lbs of jeep and trailer.
The
new Torque Converter worked great. Drove from Moab Ut. to Las Vegas 526
miles and filled up and only used 37 gal. of fuel 14.2 Mpg and that was
pulling several grades and towing the jeep.
The juice was on the
whole trip started out with it set to come on at 9 PSI on the trip out
and reset it for 7 PSI on the way back it used a little more juice on
the way home approx. 2 gal more but I only had to fill it once when we
left from home and refilled when we got to Moab Ut. and on the way home
I did top off the tank in Las Vegas just because the service station
had LP fuel and we had used some for the stove and heater while in Ut.
The fuel mileage surprised me too! A 24' motor home pulling 7000 lbs
and still got 14 mpg (YES)
WarrGuitars
I
just went to San Diego (650 miles round trip). I have the diesel
propane injection system installed with it set to come in at about 2 -
3 lbs of boost. I was towing a 12,000 lb fiver. Going there I went up
and down MANY grades and got 3 mpg improvement. On the way home I went
the FLAT route and picked up 4 mpg.
The power is unbelievable!
Aceman
I'm
getting an average of 18.5 mpg on the highway @ 75mph w/o propane. With
propane on and traveling the same highway speed I'm seeing 21.7mpg.
Keep in mind that the van weighs 9000lbs & is run 6 days a week.
Also, the above figures are with a really heavy foot. Hopefully I'll
see more mileage next year as I'm going to go to a full 4" exhaust and
possibly a new flip chip (tow, race, extreme).

Well,
I'm happy to report the results of the trip to Los Angeles and back.
I'm even happier to say that it only took 5.3 gals of propane added to
the diesel to take me there and back again. (729 miles RT) The best
part was the truck, while pulling my 8K trailer, NEVER came out of OD
while on the freeway. Can you imagine that, not coming out of OD on
those annoying little hills? I'm downright excited about that...
Usually when I'm on that road, I-15, it is out of OD about 3/4 of the
way up those hills and stays out until the down hill side. I am really
happy about having that Diesel Performance Products setup on this
truck.
There are three significant hills and several loooong
slow up-hills, where the propane was really helping. (Like Victorville
to Cajon summit and Riverside to Cajon) When you stop to consider this,
it had to be a considerable help in reducing both the miles per gallon
and wear and tear on the vehicle. My cruising speed was 65, staying
with the big boys to avoid the tickets, (55 limit in Ca while towing)
and the RPM was about 1900. Now the sad news, of all the times
to loose a fuel receipt, I had to do it this time. What I do remember
is that I have never gone this far on a tank of fuel before while
towing and it only took a touch over 30 gallons for the 550-sumthin
miles. That's about 18 MPG pulling the trailer!! I can't get over the
fact that it had enough power to keep it in OD and still maintain 65
uphill. Anyone who has been from Las Vegas to Los Angeles over the I-15
knows that these are some kind of grueling hills, not the Rocky
mountains, but it varies from 2000 feet to 4300 feet in about 12 miles
(6 & 7% grades) and it's a good workout for a lot of towing
vehicles. Semis are all about 45MPH, if that, and we zoomed right by
them with the PSD just purring along (including knock and cackle)
Usually I do pass them but this time it wasn't at 2700 rpm and making
lots of heat. The pyro was solid at 650 on all the hills, including up
the Cajon pass. (I measure the pipe pre turbo.) One other thing, the
engine fan never came on either, like it has in the past. Again,
sorry that I can't give you a real accurate mileage figure, but my seat
of the pants SWAG is at least 2-MPG improvement. BTW, the wife thinks
it�s great because it no longer makes all that engine noise on those
hills.

Just burned through my first whole tank load of fuel that was supplemented with propane...
I did a bunch of 50 mile highway bursts during this tank...
Got 650 miles on one tank of diesel...
Used 28.5 gals of diesel $1.30...
Got 22.67 mpg...
Could have gone over 700 miles on a tank of fuel...
These PSD's are the best...

"When
do you flip the switch?" ----- Right after I start it! I use mine for
daily driving. Flow set low I get about 1000 miles per 20lb tank. It is
just nice for merging with traffic and all around drivability.
As
far as the MPG gain, I took a trip to CO with the 28' 5er last summer.
4800 miles. Got average of 11.9 MPG with LP. Tank lasted about 500-600
miles. A gain of 1.5 to 2 mpg verses w/out LP. Enough fuel savings to
pay for the LP. My take is the system is break even on MPG gains are
enough to pay for the LP. You just need to pay for the system.
Hope that helps, Dave
Jimmy Waters
Keith,
sorry about taking so long to get back. I told you I would report how
the propane injection system did on my 96 Ford, F350, 410 rear-end and
a standard shift. I have a Super Chip, undated exhaust, K and N filter.
I pull a 38 ft. fifth wheel which weighs 17,000 lbs plus.
I
could not believe the increase in power I got. You set up my unit for
pulling and I have not changed anything. What I pulled in 4th gear I
now pull in 5th. I check my mileage on 1600 miles on a trip to Arkansas
from Texas and I got about 12.5 MPG where I would get 10 before. I am
very well pleased and have told all my friends about it. Can't wait to
go the North West next summer and try some of those hills.
A
good article in the current Trailer Life about ATS system which I do
not believe is as refined as yours. They should have told about all the
systems on the market. You got short changed.
Oh yes I used about 17 gals of propane on the test. I do not leave the system on all the time. Good luck

I
have some more good news about the units on semi's. My brother was
coming from Phoenix headed to Flagstaff and it must be a long steep
grade. A truck past him at the bottom and Mike (my brother) was talking
to him on the radio. He told Mike he had a 550 hp cat engine and that
it really pulled good. Well to make a long story short Mike passed him
on the first good spot and left him in his dust. Mike has the 430 hp
Detroit engine. When Mike stopped to fuel up in Flagstaff and said the
guy caught up to him in after he had been at the truck stop for a half
hour. Well needless to say Mike was real impressed! The other guy
couldn't believe it was propane injection.
Gary - KJ60 You
have what is undoubtedly the best available PROGRESSIVE propane
injection system on the market today! It's easily installed, only in
operation when YOU want it to be, is FULLY adjustable as to power level
and boost threshold for injection. I see you already have a number of
other performance mods, so you aren't a stranger to power upgrades - so
what's the deal? I have the PS2000 setup on my older Dodge, and
LOVE it - and I also have a buddy with a '99 Ford who is looking for
one after seeing mine in action - so if you really ARE wanting to sell
it, get back to me and I'll see he gets the info - sure a SHAME to see
so fine a system WASTED on a FORD...
Mike
Just
got back from driving around "testing" the system. It is un freaking
believable! I see why they say you get hooked on it. I was able to run
my hoses up the corner through the stake holes. I didn't have to drill
any holes in the bed. I made a temporary wooden cradle for the BBQ
tank. I'll get my real tank first week in Oct. My install was really
easy. Everything went smooth. Real close on line length. Almost didn't
have enough. I do have the Crew Cab and I mounted the tank centered in
the bed (up against the back wall) cause my real tank will have its
fitting there. They only supplied two hose clamps so I made an educated
guess where to use them. The connection at the turbo needs three and
two for the tank. I figured the turbo fittings would probably hold
without a clamp but guess what? After my first test drive, I opened the
hood and checked everything. Low and behold one of the turbo boost
lines was just about blown off. I now have clamps for everything. I was
able to mount the switches with the supplied panel in the dash. There's
a little cubby hole where the airbag switch would be if it weren't a
Crew Cab. Same place drag mounted his SPA gauge. I broke off the top
part of the mounting bracket, removed the dash trim, pulled out the
cubby hole thing and cut a hole in the back for the wires. I put the
plate in position and just snapped the dash on. Worked out slick. Looks
factory. So I will have everything in but the big tank by Rendezvous
time. One more thing. The Allison handles the power with precision.
Under hard acceleration, it does a shift almost like it's a manual.
Lets off power, shifts then reapplies with vengeance. Feel like I'm on
an amusement ride! Excellent product, Excellent service!
The Towles
I
have installed propane injection system on this coach. Process didn't
take a long time and only major work was drilling and tapping hole in
side of intercooler inlet (that was white metal so was very easy to do,
and you supplied enough fittings to make that happen. Had just about
the right amount of hose and really didn't need the extra wire you
sent. Dash already had a covered rectangular hole near ignition switch
so installed switch panel there and installed gas control just behind
LP tank in basement (used clamps on all hoses).
Took a 200
mile test drive thru the Maine hills I-95 and secondary roads. Yikes!
What a difference. Now when I step on 'throttle' pedal I go faster NOW
not in a few minutes - really feels like a sports car instead of a
bus. Don't know yet what real mileage gains are but if one can trust
the Silver Leaf display average MPG has gone from 8.5 to 10+ - will
know more after I fill tank a few times. Please use me for email
reference anytime - only have cell phone so that gets expensive.
Thanks again for simple but elegant gizmo and your accommodation of my non-pickup truck requirements. |
