D-Gas System Savings

Fuel Savings Equals Financial Savings

Improved Diesel combustion can achieve up to a staggering 30% increase in diesel fuel saving but the cost of the LPG fuel must also be taken into consideration.

Savings are made from normally un-burnt diesel fuel wasted in poor combustion and expelled through the exhaust system as pollution is now used to power the engine correctly. Not only does un-burnt fuel cause pollution to our environment but it is a direct cost to us in wasted fuel and money. Use of the extra performance will reduce the overall saving!

Note! Any increase in economy should be classed as a bonus as the D-GAS system was designed mainly to lower emissions by increasing combustion of the diesel fuel with the added bonuses of extra performance and economy.

Other Savings

D-GAS can prolong engine life by improving combustion. This improvement reduces Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGT's) and carbon build up in the engine, which in turn reduces carbon in the engine oil. This reduced deposits in the engine oil allows the engine the run with cleaner/fresher oil between the regular oil changes. Cleaner oil means longer lasting engines! A quick check of the colour of the exhaust tip at the end of the tail pipe will confirm much less black soot.

Less carbon and lower oil temperatures increase the time intervals between oil changes, which then can be added as an extra saving in oil and servicing costs.

Government Grants & Incentives

The Australian Government has established the LPG Vehicle Scheme to assist private use motorists (non commercial or business use) with the purchase of a new LPG vehicle or the conversion of a new or used petrol or diesel vehicle to LPG.

For commercial use vehicles, the Government has in place Fuel Tax Credits for GST registered businesses, of 18.51 cents per litre, for all vehicles with a GVM of over 4.5 tonnes.

Fuel Consumption

Using 100% Diesel 57.8 litres per 100 Km @ $1.40 = $80.92

Using Diesel/Gas 52.9 litres per 100 Km @ $1.13 = $59.70

Fuel Consumption Reduced by 6.5% and the fuel cost by 27c per litre

Saving $21.22 per 100 Km (all prices include GST)

The truck travels 20,000 Km per month saving $4,244.00.

Return On Investment

This test result is based on a 15 tonne truck averaging 20,000 km each month. The monthly saving would equate to around $4,000. In this scenario D-GAS "Big Rig" installation would pay for itself in around 4 months. That's great news for heavy industry and even better when you read government rebate scheme for heavy machinery.
