• A dutch company has designed a LPG injectionsystem to get more % diesel burned:

  In short they say that a dieselengine burns about 85-95% of the injected diesel, with a LPG injectionsystem up-to 98%. The LPG is ignited by the diesel and burning thru the cylinder igniting diesel in parts of the cylinder that are slower burning.
  
  Nice idea...

• i speak Dutch  :wink:
  
  they got a patent on it
  
  they say.
  15-30% more feul economy
  
  Up to 35% more power
  
  You become a mix of diesel and LPG
  They deliver it for all kind off diesels
  
  With the LPG, you can burn up to 98% of youre diesel, a normal diesel just burn about 85-95%.

• I think some of the diesel passenger ferries around here run some LNG (natural gas) for that purpose and have for several years.  Anyone heard of that?

• Hadn't heard of using it in ferries, but given the amount of black smoke, and the low quality fuel they use, I can imagine that they're not getting a very complete burn.  I wonder how much incomplete burning is actually going on in a well adjusted VW though.

• In an IDI? A lot...
  
  In a TDI? Not so much.
  
  LPG fumigation is rather popular as a performance mod on diesel trucks, but that's on trucks where they're overfueling so much that five seconds of WOT can smoke out a VERY large area with THICK BLACK SMOKE.
