Available Systems
There are two main LPG conversions delivery systems in use today, supplied by a number of manufacturers. They are known as the Mixer or single point, and the injector or multipoint. For the early carburetor and EFI injection ehicles (pre 1992) where the engine does not use an exhaust Lambda Sensor and associated ECU we fit a Mixer system, that is installed into the inlet manifold just ahead of the air filter. This has the benefit of low cost and ease of installation. The downsides are that fuel economy, MPG can be approximately 25% down compared with Petrol and a slight hesitancy is felt when switching between Gas and Petrol. They had a big problem, the spit back, some times known as the BACKFIRE. this was a explosion that happened in the inlet manifold.For vehicles (pre 1992 - 1997) where the engine does have an exhaust Lambda Sensor and associated ECU we can fit a Mixer system that is installed into the inlet manifold just ahead of the air filter, with a stepper motor controlled by the lambda sensor and a gas ECU (electronic control unit). This has the benefit of lower cost than the Sequential Vapour Injection (SVI) system again ease of installation. The downsides are that fuel economy MPG can be approximately 20% down compared with Petrol and a less hesitancy is felt when switching between Gas and Petrol. They also had the problem of the spit back / BACKFIRE when the car was running out of fuel or when it was running too lean for too long. There was a system that came next to combat the spit back, this was known as DVI or direct vapour injection, the first of the multipoint systems, but this had a very short life 1999-2001 and was superseded by the Sequential Vapour Injection system.
For the modern vehicles (1997 - present day) they employ a Lambda Sensor or lambda sensors and an ECU. (electronic control unit) we install the latest Sequential Vapour Injection (SVI) system that places an individual injector above each cylinder resulting in maximum performance and economy. Typically fuel economy will be better than with the Mixer system and there is no hesitation when switching fuels. The downside is that the installation is far more complex and takes longer and thus is more expensive, but the chance of having a back fire has been eliminated. Whichever system is installed you can rest assured that you will get a quality system that will reap significant savings for many years to come.

for higher performance cars. The injectors, which are mounted
into a block, can be changed individually with life expectancy
of an injector being over 150,000 miles.
2.Prins
Prins is a long established Dutch company considered to be at
at the forefront of the Autogas industry. The Electronic Control
Unit was designed and built by Prins at the start of the Sequential
revulsion and it is still one of the best so they got the design
right first time. Their reducers are robust and can convert
very large quantities of Liquid LPG into gas, ideal for the
higher performance cars, and their individual Keihin injectors
are the best in the world (we have never needed to change a
set).
3.Romano
Romano is an Italian company producing high-grade Autogas equipment.
Using AEB’s superb Electronic Control Units with re flashable

to converting V10’s and V12’s. Their reducers are small but
and can convert very large quantities of Liquid LPG into gas,
ideal for the bigger engines, and the injectors which are a
matrix block can be fitted into tight spaces.
5.Zavoli
Zavoli is an Italian company producing the better Autogas equipment.
Using AEB’s superb Electronic control units with re-flashable

the injectors which are a plastic matrix block can be fitted
into tight spaces.
8.Impco
Impco’s ingenuity during the Autogas revulsion came up with
the gas carburettors moving plate mixers and other devices that
made it possible to convert the large American engines Their
reducers are large but seeing they were designed for the big
engine marker they can convert very very large quantities of
Liquid LPG into gas so the idea equipment if you require grunt
rather than performance.
9.Stako
A polish tank manufacturer rated as one of the best.
10.OMVL
OMVL is an Italian company producing the the higher end Autogas
equipment. Using AEB’s superb Electronic control units with
re flashable software. Their reducers are the only multi stage
reduces on the market and can convert very large quantities
of Liquid LPG into gas just better than Romano, and their matrix
injectors are ideal for fitting into tight areas. We have used
this system on a Rover 45 with a v6 engine as the injectors
are very compact.
11.Witte Van Moort
A Dutch tank manufacturer rated as one of the best.
