3rd GENERATION
GENERATION 3 SYSTEMS
 
Because the e.c.u. is much more sophisticated than on Generation 2 systems, it is possible to control the fuelling more accurately than would have been thought possible only a few years ago. This means that the vehicle should have virtually no power loss and very similar fuel consumption to when running on petrol. The environmental benefits being an even greater reduction in pollution of our atmosphere.
 
The vehicle defaults to petrol on start up, but automatically changes to gas when the engine is revved and the temperature of the Vaporizer exceeds 20 degrees C. When the vehicle runs low on gas, the e.c.u. detects that the air/fuel mixture is too lean and automatically switches back to petrol.
 
 
Inside the vehicle the only tell tale sign is a small combined fuel gauge and switch, which is mounted discreetly in the dashboard area. This is identical to the earlier Tartarini systems and unfortunately the fuel gauge is not exactly accurate. However, as the rest of the system is superbly engineered, it is a minor problem.
 
The flying injection system is more expensive than the BRC system (Gen 2). A typical 4 cylinder non-turbo application will cost around £1200 plus VATt. Six and eight cylinder vehicles will be more. The pay back being the improved economy and drive-ability.
 

In addition, a whole range of vehicles which in the past could not be converted without serious problems, are now able to be taken on, or will be within the next few months.
