System type: Vapour injection. No discernible difference in power between gas and petrol.
Seamless change over. Indirectly controlled by the cars own computer so that there is
no conflict and all features are retained (e.g. traction control).
On the Explorer we have fitted an Impco BRC sequent 56 system and the injectors
are fairly obvious as is the gas lock off valve (brass and red), the ECU and the
converter (the shiny black square unit and is also referred to as a regulator). The
wiring harness is also obvious coming from the top of the ECU.
Cylinder: Donut shaped (toroidal) cylinder of 63 litres useable capacity or a normal LPG
cylinder of 60 litres capacity. The donut tank is a neater fit but is also more
expensive. See comparison photos.
Location: In place of the spare wheel under the rear of the vehicle
Filler: As with all our jobs, if it is possible to fit the LPG filler in with the petrol filler then
that is where we locate the filler and we can do it neatly.
Controls: The switch gauge combination unit is located in the centre console near the
sunglasses bin.
Disclaimer: We endeavour to get all our data correct but we do not guarantee that we are perfect and haven't made an error in some of the
data.
With the injection systems we do change the brand we use where we can improve on the quality of the equipment fitted. We are
not tied into one particular brand and we are entirely motivated by self-interest; we aren't compensated for the labour to
replace parts under warranty. When we fit components we don't fit them for ease of replacement but for best performance and
looks and then within the requirements of the standards. It is therefore in our interests as well as yours that we don't have to
replace parts and so we make sure we fit the most reliable, long lived parts.
