Diesel Propane Injection
Performance & Fuel Economy with DPI
Diesel propane injection can offer a long term performance boost when you need it. When used in conservative quantities, DPI is a safe performance modification that will give you a fair boost in fuel economy & torque.
Also Known As:
|
DPI, diesel propane injection |
How it Works:
|
Propane acts as a fuel catalyst, allowing you to extract the most potential out of diesel fuel. During normal operation, a diesel engine burns approx. 75 - 80 percent of the fuel injected. By injecting propane in the engine, nearly 100 % of the diesel fuel is burned during the combustion process. Propane, being a fuel, also increases power by introducing itself into the engine. By improving the efficiency of the engine, huge fuel mileage gains are typically gained by the use of diesel propane injection. |
Pros:
|
- Fair horsepower & torque output increase on demand. - Noticable increases in fuel economy. - Reasonably safe for use on stock vehicles. |
Cons:
|
- Hassle of finding mounting location for bulky tank. - Hassle of refilling tank periodically. |
Possible Problems:
|
-
Can cause detonation under load in highly modified applications. |
Power Gains: (estimated) |
50 - 100 horsepower, depending on application. |
Product Availability:
|
Power Stroke, Cummins, & Duramax |
Additional Info:
|
- Longer refill intervals in comparison to nitrous & water/methanol injection. |
