eCo-shotLPG for Diesels
The benefits of a shot of gas.
A reduction in your diesel cost by as much as 20%.Mixing a shot of LPG with the air through the turbo improves the burn efficiency of the diesel in the combustion chamber. Your everyday diesel combustion burns approximately 75% of the diesel in the chamber; by adding a shot LPG into the combustion chamber it increases that efficiency to 95%. You now have a more efficient combustion process that is using less diesel fuel thereby saving you money.
The benefits of a shot of gas.
Extended service intervals.Cleaner oils. With the improved combustion created by eCo-shot’s shot of LPG you now don’t have the excess diesel dropping into the sump and dirtying up your oil. In the case of the C12 CAT within 8 weeks the oil change went from 20,000 to 30,000 k’s.
The benefits of a shot of gas.
Improved pulling powerWith the improved combustion created by eCo-shot’s shot of LPG you now have a better combustion in the chamber giving your increased horsepower and torque.
Examples:eCo-shot Nissan Navara – 73 kilowatts to 92 kilowatts80 Series Land Cruiser – 76 kilowatts to 116 kilowatts2004 Holden Rodeo – 290 Nm to 400 Nm
The benefits of a shot of gas.
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions.The improved combustion also means a reduction in CO2 by as much as 10%, harmful NOx by as much as 50% and black smoke emissions.
You are also reducing carbon emissions through the fuel you have not used 2.7kg for every litre of diesel you do not burn.
eCo-shot has been available in Australia since March 2007 it is installed on over 900 vehicles
across Australia.
Has been sold in the US market for 12 years and is well and truly tried and tested. (US
brand name – Powershot)
Has been trialing for 8 years in Australia on a 1983 Mercedes Benz truck and has proven itself with power increases and fuel savings
AS MUCH AS 30%
How does the eCo-shot System work?The eCo-shot LPG Injection System is boost pressure activated.It is controlled, activated and proportionate to the boost pressure of the engine.The eCo-shot comes on slow and steady and as the boost increases, so does the flow of gas.This innovative design is only activated when the vehicle ignition is on and the engine is running, a distinct safety advantage. The system installs under bonnet and requires no permanent modifications to the vehicle or engine.
Its innovative and patented design and method of LPG delivery, is what makes this system unique to other systems on the market and has overcome many of the drawbacks encountered with earlier designed injection systems. No boost pressure no LPG flows, it will only inject LPG when boost reaches our pre-set poundage (this will vary for each engine and usage).
No computers.
No tapping into your vehicles
cooling system.
No remapping your vehicles fuel
system.
Will LPG damage my engine long term?
not from what these examples show us
The eCo-shot Ute was purchased and fitted with gas in March 2007 with 190,000k’s on it. It has now done another 150,000k’s on gas and has not missed a beat.
The 1983 Benz has had an eCo-shot on it for over 7 years and has driven over 800,000k’s on gas. It also has not missed a beat.
The eCo-shot LPG injection system for turbo diesel owners who are looking for more power for towing, increased mileage and throttle responsiveness
out of their vehicles.
The eCo-shot is an infinitely variable-stage vapour injection system. It is controlled, activated and proportionate to the boost pressure of the engine.
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!
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.
Around town. . . You will love how responsive the pedal is with eco-shot, you will think it’s a petrol motor.
Towing caravans or trailers. . . The increased pulling power is great, eco-shot makes those big hills seem a lot smaller.
Off-road. . . We have a couple of guys doing some very serious competitive off road, they really appreciate the
extra grunt eco-shot gives them.
Trucks. . . This is where eco-shot comes into its own no matter how big the load, how far you travel, truck owners
will save 1000’s of dollars each year and appreciate the extra power they will get from eco-shot.
SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS:
Power switch inside the cab so driver has full control of turning the system on and off.
Fuel lock off valve, stops the flow of gas unless the vehicle ignition and system is on.
Fits any TURBO DIESEL vehicles.
Great savings for the Transport industry.
An adjustable orifice allows you to change flow rates from towing to performance effortlessly in minutes.
Variable flow rate delivers smooth, steadily increasing power, proportionate to the boost pressure.
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.
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.
How much increased torque and power can I expect?Horsepower and torque will increase from 20% to 60%
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.
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.)
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.
Does the eCo-shot™ increase EGT Temperatures?
Only by about 50° or less, in some instances it actually decreases EGT temps.
eCo-shot Gas Injection Kit requires the use of a Australian Standard, certified VAPOUR Gas Tank only.

Over-view to Date from the vehicle owner
The dyno results are not the optimum output as there was a limitation of trying to load up the engine without it force- shifting to the next gear 4th, but there is still a healthy increase of around 20% in HP & a 15% in torque
It should be noted that there has only been a conservative addition of gas vapour - there is certainly room for higher rates of gas delivery, should higher HP/Torque outputs be required.
Gas flows at 4 PSI of turbo boost, which eliminates the off the mark inherent turbo lag & the sluggishness / response of light throttle acceleration. Pedal response is more in line with the 5.7 Litre V8 Hemi but with around half the fuel consumption
The system is simple yet effective in design as it delivers only gas vapour at the turbo without the need of the usual additional gas mixers/converters & associated plumbing & water heating lines
Boot space loss is acceptable as one tank of gas is sufficient for three to four tanks of diesel, depending on driving style - a smaller 18 litre tank is also available which has even less impact to boot space.
To meet regulation requirements the gas tank is filled outside the car behind a drop down number plate frame, so no visible sign (other than the required GAS sticker on the number plate) is evident
Installation is relatively simple & straight forward with the bare minimum of modification
From the lower dash area the system can also be turned on & off via a multi-position switch, gas level is also displayed by a small multi-LED gauge. If gas runs out during operation of the vehicle there is no issue, just a reduction in performance & economy.

Subject: K104Hi Les
Just letting you know how happy we at FLOURTRANS are with our Eco-shot gas system.
Prior to purchasing eCo-shot our Kenworth K104 powered by a 550 hp C-15 cat was on average returning 1.9 Klms per litre. Cost to us $384.20 per day .
With eCo-shot the truck is returning on average 2.6 klms per litre. Cost to us $280.77 per day for diesel and $9.80 per day for gas.Total per day saving $93.63.
On the above figures to say we are happy would be an under statement the vehicle has increased pulling power and more responsive on the throttle .We are very pleased with our eCo-Shot system.
Kind regardsMark MyersManaging DirectorFLOURTRANS LOGISTICS AUSTRALIA

On a recent run from Melbourne to Townsville return, a total
distance of 6000k’s.eCo-shot reduced the diesel consumption by nearly 1000
litres.By not burning the extra 967
litres of diesel - 2.90 tonnes of CO2 were not released into the atmosphere and that does not
include the reduced emissions by running LPG with your diesel.
How GREEN is my diesel with eCo-shot installed?
Emissions testing show the following:-NOx emissions reduced by 55%
CO2 reduced by 12%.
