LCV & Truck Savings

chartFuel Sav­ings

The ECO-GAS Sys­tem is known as the “GREEN” sys­tem. It does this by improv­ing diesel com­bus­tion and can achieve up to a stag­ger­ing 30% decrease in diesel fuel costs. This sav­ing must then take into con­sid­er­a­tion the cost of the LPG fuel which cur­rently is circa 2/3 less than diesel fuel. His­tor­i­cally the nett sav­ings then is around 20%. A sig­nif­i­cant fig­ure espe­cially for those dri­ving long hual and interstate.

Sav­ings are made from nor­mally un-burnt diesel fuel wasted in poor com­bus­tion and expelled through the exhaust sys­tem as pol­lu­tion. It is this unburnt diesel which is now used to power the engine more effi­ciently. Not only does un-burnt fuel waste money, it also causes pol­lu­tion to our environment.

Use of the extra per­for­mance given by LPG injec­tion will reduce the over­all sav­ings how­ever we are able to tune the LPG injec­tion for either max­i­mum econ­omy or power or some­hwere  in the mid­dle as required  by our the user!

Note: Any increase in econ­omy is classed as a bonus as the ECO-GAS sys­tem was designed mainly to lower emis­sions by increas­ing com­bus­tion of the diesel fuel with the added bonuses of extra per­for­mance and economy.

Other Sav­ings

ECO-GAS can pro­long engine life by improv­ing com­bus­tion. This improve­ment reduces  Exhaust Gas Tem­per­a­tures (EGT’s) and car­bon build up in the engine, which in turn reduces car­bon in the engine oil. This reduced deposits in the engine oil allows the engine the run with cleaner/fresher oil between the reg­u­lar oilchanges.

CLEANER OILS MEANS LONGER LASTING ENGINES! A quick check of the colour of the exhaust tip at the end of the tail pipe will con­firm much less black soot.

Less car­bon and lower oil tem­per­a­tures increase the time inter­vals between oil changes, which then can be added as an extra sav­ing in oil and ser­vic­ing costs.

Gov­ern­ment Grants / Incentives

The Aus­tralian Gov­ern­ment has estab­lished the LPG Vehi­cle Scheme to assist pri­vate use  motorists (non com­mer­cial or busi­ness use) with the pur­chase of a new LPG vehi­cle or the con­ver­sion of a new or used petrol or diesel vehi­cle to LPG.

Return on Investment

This test result is based on a 15 ton truck aver­ag­ing 20,000 km each month. The monthly sav­ing would equate to around $4,000. In this sce­nario ECO-GAS “BIG RIG” instal­la­tion would pay for itself in around 4 months.

And the great news doesn’t stop there. With instal­la­tion costs for pas­sen­ger vehi­cles and 4WD’s com­pa­ra­ble to nor­mal Petrol/LPG con­ver­sions PLUS the Gov­ern­ment rebates for pas­sen­ger vehi­cles, your diesel and your wal­let will never be happier!

Note: Gov­ern­ment rebates are $2000 per vehi­cle ($3000 in West­ern Australia)
