Bulli:
if you want Nitrous speak to Trev at Wizards of Nos. They are based in Doncaster and do some reasonably priced kits that are state of the art.

Trev has developed the kit over 20 years and its probably the best available.

LPG injection is used to boost the power of diesel and is effective. As far as i know you cant run a diesel on it.

I second that wizard of nos are very good kits, have fitted a few of there kits over the years never had one come back, did fit a 75 bhp kit to a bmw 330 td, went very well,

I was chatting with my friendly LPG guy today so I asked him.

Apparently in real-world tests the emission tend to fall with the exception of Hc, which rise.  Also exhaust manifold temp can be up to 15% lower, understandable if more energy is being released in the combustion chamber.  The catalytic effect rasies thermal efficiency, or something like that.

Apparently it help get to Euro 4 standard, not 5 as I had thought.  Given how complicated the likes of Peugeot have made things getting to the same place I think it's got potential.

ANyway, there is a new kit on the market that apperently "listens" to the engine for pinking or excessive detonation which is caused by too much LPG, these kits are far better than previous systems which could be difficult to set up correctly.  I also understand that as an older engine runs on LPG is become cleaner and needs recallibrating.



As an aside a mate is working on research for a company that are developning a Hydrogen cell for Deisel cars, it turns tapwater into Hydrogn and Oxegen as the car drives.  The oxegen is 'waste' but the hydrogen is again a catalyst for the deisel process.  Interstingly he told me their test car is a 300TDi :)
