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. |
