5Propane (C3H8)
- Low cost and domestically produced alternative
fuel - Non-toxic, burns cleanly is not a ground
contaminant - Abundant supply in the U.S.
- - 60 comes from natural gas 40 from
refining oil - Propane is naturally a low emission fuel
- - Near zero particulate matter
- Similar MPG and fuel fill rate as gasoline
- Promote a green fleet image
- Support Energy Independence

11LPI Delivers Propane to the Intake Port as a
Liquid
- Benefit
- Vaporization occurs at the intake port,
cooling the air/fuel . charge and
increasing air/fuel density providing power - better than the gasoline engine equivalent.
- Vaporization creates a cooling effect reducing
valve and - upper cylinder temperatures and prolonging
engine life. - Provides excellent cold weather start and go.
12LPI control is integrated into the OEM computer
- Benefit
- Proprietary programming optimizes fuel
economy, . performance
and low emissions - Injector spray pattern is optimized as
designed by the . engine OEM. - OEM developed diagnostics remain intact with
the - LPI system.
- Allows use of GM Tech II tool for diagnostics.
13LPI utilizes Siemens bottom feed injectors
Benefit
- Provides a self cleaning and purging
action. - Reduces contaminant build up.
- Improves the service life of the injectors.
- Maintains fuel economy, performance and
low . emissions. -
Provides quiet operation.

18Superior Performance
- 325 HP _at_ 4000 RPM
- 450 ft-lbs of Torque _at_ 2800 RPM
- Early torque rise provides quick .
acceleration (no turbo lag). - Idles quietly with virtually no
. exhaust odor.
19Safe
- Fuel tank is made of ¼ thick carbon steel.
-
- Tanks are 20 times more puncture
- resistant than a gasoline or diesel tank.
- Fuel flow is automatically shut-off in the
- event of a fuel line rupture.
- Critical valves are mounted below the tank
- shell perimeter providing superior protection
from damage. - Propane has the most narrow flammability range
of any fossil fuel. - Propane requires an ignition source of 940
degrees F to ignite. In contrast, .
gasoline will ignite with an ignition source of
only 430 to 500 degrees F. - In the rare event of a leak, propane will
vaporize into the air and will not pool.
