How
does it work?
The
Powershot 2000™ Propane Injection Kit is
boost pressure activated, injecting propane
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. The injection system is
controlled by an illuminated on/off switch
located inside the cab, giving the driver
full control of system operations. A vehicle
mounted tank approx. 25% of vehicle fuel
tank capacity is required. (Tanks sold
separately)
Why
Propane?
The
idea of injecting propane 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 propane mixers or
sensors that had to be installed on the
engine and adjusted under the hood, making
them improbable for everyday use. (The
Powershot 2000™ is controlled by a simple
illuminated on/off switch inside the cab.)
Propane burns cleaner and cooler, 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?
Propane
acts as a "catalyst" when combined
with diesel fuel. When propane is added to
diesel fuel, almost 100% of the fuel is
burned (as opposed to approximately 75%
without
propane injection) which is what gives you
the "powershot" of torque,
horsepower and fuel economy.
How
much increased torque and power can I
expect?
Horsepower
and torque will increase from 25% to 60%
Is
it hard to install?
Diesel
Performance Products provides detailed
installation instructions with every
Powershot 2000™ propane injection kit
sold. Each component is permanently and
clearly labeled for easy installation.
Installations on most applications should
not exceed two hours. Technical assistance
is also available from 12-6 PST.
Will
it help my mileage?
YES!!
Fuel economy is increased significantly. You
can expect an increase of 2-3 mpg depending
on your driving style.
Can
I use the Powershot 2000™ for towing heavy
loads?
YES!
You will enjoy using the Powershot 2000™
for towing. (Remember you should never tow
more than your truck is rated for or hold
the throttle wide open for extended
periods.)
Does
the Powershot 2000™ increase EGT
Temperatures?
Only
by about 50° or less in some instances it
acutally decreases EGT temps.
Can
Powershot 2000™ be used with other
aftermarket performance products for diesel
trucks?
Yes,
The Powershot 2000™ 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.
What
kind of a tank do I need?
A
securely mounted DOT approved
certified propane tank, available at most RV
and propane dealers, at least 25% of your
vehicle fuel capacity. If a vertical
tank is used, the tank must be securely
mounted in the upright position only.
A 20lb tank should be good for a range of at
least 500 miles depending on your driving
style.
Will
the Powershot 2000™ void my vehicle
warranty?
Aftermarket
products designed to improve performance
should not affect your manufactures
warranty. Should your vehicle require a trip
to the dealer for routine maintenance or
repairs, the Powershot 2000™ is easily
removable and labeled for ease in
reinstalling.
