FINANCED DIESEL BLEND PACKAGE NOW COVERS EURO 5
A diesel blend system that is available with an attractive finance proposition has now been developed to cover Euro 5 engine technology. Launched on the back of the success of the original system that was introduced for previous generation Euro 4 engines, developers Cheshire-based LPG Fleet Solutions - leading specialists in vehicle sourcing and diesel blend technology – are claiming the system is on track to deliver ‘similar’ if not ‘better’ fuel savings in the process.
As LPG Fleet Solutions’ Andrew Poole states: “Whilst the original system when trialled was proven to deliver a 29% saving on fuel, early signs are pointing to the Euro 5 upgrade not just matching this performance but possibly improving upon it.”
Indeed with the system having been installed in a Ford Transit powered by the Euro 5 2.2l 125ps diesel engine, LPG Fleet Solutions is waiting results of initial trials that are in the process of being conducted and which will continue over the next six to eight weeks.
As Andrew adds: “Given the pressure that all types of fleet operators remain under due to the prevailing high fuel costs and ongoing restrictions on borrowing, the appeal of the system that we have developed is two fold. In addition to offering fleet operators/contractors fuel cost savings from day one, our competitive edge comes from the fact that we can help them finance installation of the system without any initial capital outlay.”
Whilst the specialist equipment is being initially trialed in the ever-popular Ford Transit, it is capable of being installed across a wide range of cars, car derived vans, trucks and HGVs. Indeed HGV trials are expected to start within the next few weeks.
Concluding, Andrew said: “Not only are the fuel cost savings impressive, we know that for an operator whose vans do in the region of 40,000 miles per year over a four-year period, the payback is tantamount to the van costing nothing. And in today’s climate this is a fact that not many operators can afford to ignore. Additionally, the equipment comes with a comprehensive three year warranty, so customers can rest assured that the technology is proven and renowned for its reliability.”

SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The Diesel blend system makes it possible to convert diesel engines to dual-fuel engines by means of replacing a certain quantity of diesel with LPG. The Diesel blend system is installed beside the original motor management system, and in principle it is suitable for all diesel engines (as from Euro 3). The system communicates (read only) with the ECU via CAN-bus to ensure fully computer-controlled injection of the correct amount of LPG, depending on the specific characteristics of the diesel engine. Making use of parameters such as engine speed, turbo pressure, amount of diesel injected, position of the accelerator pedal, engine torque and the temperature of the coolant, the system determines the optimum balance between diesel and LPG.
The key components of the system are all of OEM quality and specially designed for these applications. All components comply with the strictest regulations and certifications. The installation of the components is very easy due to their compact design. The dedicated diagnostic software is unique and enables fine tuning the Diesel blend system for optimal performance and emission reduction. For the storage of the LPG, a doughnut tank is used in the location of the spare wheel.
