eCo-shot has been available in Australia since March 2007 it is installed on over 500 vehicles across Australia. Has been sold in the US market for 12 years and is well and truly tried and tested. (US brand name – “Powershot”) Has been trialing for 6 years in Australia on a 1983 Mercedes Benz truck and has proven itself with power increases and fuel savings AS MUCH AS 30%

The eCo-shot LPG injection system for turbo diesel owners who are looking for more power for towing, increased mileage and throttle responsiveness out of their vehicles. The eCo-shot is an infinitely variable-stage vapour injection system. It is controlled, activated and proportionate to the boost pressure of the engine. The eCo-shot comes on slow and steady and as the boost increases, so does the flow of gas.
more boost = more gas = more power! The eCo-shot LPG Injection System is boost pressure activated, injecting gas in increasing amounts as the boost pressure level of the engine increases, producing power you are guaranteed to feel behind the wheel. This innovative design is only activated when the vehicle ignition is on and the engine is running, a distinct safety advantage.
A licensed gas installer will take about a day to install an eCo-shot to your vehicle and it requires no permanent modifications to the engine. The quality of the components is obvious: Custom LP regulators/Parker fittings, safety features such as custom auto/off rocker switches located inside the cab, and an automotive LPG fuel lock-off solenoid valve located at the tank. All of the regulating is done at the tank eliminating the need for under hood installations and further enhancing safety concerns. The custom regulator maintains a constant tank pressure regardless of outside temperatures and delivers consistent, usable power at all boost levels.
Around town. . . You will love how responsive the pedal is with eco-shot, you will think it’s a petrol motor. Towing caravans or trailers. . . The increased pulling power is great, eco-shot makes those big hills seem a lot smaller. Off-road. . . We have a couple of guys doing some very serious competitive off road, they really appreciate the extra grunt eco-shot gives them. Trucks. . . This is where eco-shot comes into its own no matter how big the load, how far you travel, truck owners will save 1000’s of dollars each year and appreciate the extra power they will get from eco-shot.
SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS: Power switch inside the cab so driver has full control of turning the system on and off. Fuel lock off valve, stops the flow of gas unless the vehicle ignition and system is on. Fits any TURBO DIESEL vehicles. Great savings for the Transport industry. An adjustable orifice allows you to change flow rates from towing to performance effortlessly in minutes. Variable flow rate delivers smooth, steadily increasing power, proportionate to the boost pressure.
Why Gas? The idea of injecting gas as a secondary fuel in turbo diesel engines has been widely used for many years and is not a new idea. However many of the earlier systems contained complicated mixers or sensors that had to be installed on the engine and adjusted under the hood, making them improbable for everyday use. Gas burns cleaner, and in turn your engine runs cleaner, cooler and longer. The engine's response is quick, smooth and powerful.
Why does it work so well? Gas acts as a "catalyst" when combined with diesel fuel. When gas is added to diesel fuel, almost 100% of the fuel is burned (as opposed to approximately 75% without gas injection) which is what gives you the "eCo-shot" of torque, horsepower and fuel economy.
How much increased torque and power can I expect? Horsepower and torque will increase from 20% to 60%
Will it help my mileage? YES!! Fuel economy is increased significantly. You can expect a 20 to 30% reduction in fuel usage depending on your driving style. Can I use the eCo-shot™ for towing heavy loads? YES! You will enjoy using the eCo-shot™ for towing. (Remember you should never tow more than your vehicle is rated for or hold the throttle wide open for extended periods.)
Can eCo-shot™ be used with other aftermarket performance products for diesel powered vehicles? Yes, The eCo-shot™ system is the perfect addition and will only further enhance the performance of chips, exhaust systems etc. It can also be used on stock turbo diesels as the only performance accessory.
Does the eCo-shot™ increase EGT Temperatures? Only by about 50° or less, in some instances it actually decreases EGT temps. eCo-shot Gas Injection Kit requires the use of a Australian Standard, certified VAPOUR Gas Tank only.

Over-view to Date from the vehicle owner The dyno results are not the optimum output as there was a limitation of trying to load up the engine without it force- shifting to the next gear 4th, but there is still a healthy increase of around 20% in HP & a 15% in torque It should be noted that there has only been a conservative addition of gas vapour - there is certainly room for higher rates of gas delivery, should higher HP/Torque outputs be required. Gas flows at 4 PSI of turbo boost, which eliminates the off the mark inherent turbo lag & the sluggishness / response of light throttle acceleration. Pedal response is more in line with the 5.7 Litre V8 Hemi but with around half the fuel consumption The system is simple yet effective in design as it delivers only gas vapour at the turbo without the need of the usual additional gas mixers/converters & associated plumbing & water heating lines Boot space loss is acceptable as one tank of gas is sufficient for three to four tanks of diesel, depending on driving style - a smaller 18 litre tank is also available which has even less impact to boot space. To meet regulation requirements the gas tank is filled outside the car behind a drop down number plate frame, so no visible sign (other than the required GAS sticker on the number plate) is evident Installation is relatively simple & straight forward with the bare minimum of modification From the lower dash area the system can also be turned on & off via a multi-position switch, gas level is also displayed by a small multi-LED gauge. If gas runs out during operation of the vehicle there is no issue, just a reduction in performance & economy. So what’s next Vehicle economy testing Full EPG compliance testing

How GREEN is my diesel with eCoshot installed? Emissions testing show the following:NOx emissions reduced by 55% CO2 reduced by 12%.
On a recent run from Melbourne to Townsville return, a total distance of 6000k’s. eCo-shot reduced the diesel consumption by nearly 1000 litres. By not burning the extra 967 litres of diesel - 2.90 tonnes of CO2 were not released into the atmosphere and that does not include the reduced emissions by running LPG with your diesel.
Reduces your Greenhouse Gas Emissions The more efficient burn of the diesel fuel in the combustion chamber created by the shot of gas from the eCo-shot LPG injection System reduces harmful greenhouse gases. NOx by as much 55% CO2 by as much as 13%
Recent testing on 2003 Nissan Navarra NOx reduction Diesel only = 448 parts per million eCo-shot on = 207 parts per million CO2 reduction Diesel only = 3.73% eCo-shot on = 3.47%
