EcoLPi (Liquid Phase Injection) is a new technology developed by Ford engineers right here in Australia.

It is an LPG fuel injection system designed to deliver and burn fuel more efficiently, giving the engine significantly better performance.

EcoLPi is also easier on the environment and your wallet - using less fuel and producing fewer CO2 emissions compared to traditional LPG systems.

Why is liquid phase injection better?

As opposed to traditional systems, the liquid injection system takes the gas in liquid state all the way to the injectors. The injectors deliver LPG liquid into the intake port as the engine sucks in the air/fuel mix. As the LPG liquid is released from the injector, because it is no longer under pressure, it expands approximately 250 times into gas and almost freezes the incoming air. This creates the ideal condition for maximum fuel burning efficiency, hence producing more power and torque economically and with fewer CO2 emissions.

EcoLPi is the most advanced LPG technology available. To work out how much you’ll save choose Sedan or Ute, then simply use these sliders to adjust the petrol price, LPG price and kilometres travelled.

Sedan : Fuel costs based on fuel consumption figure for Falcon XT petrol sedan of 9.9L/100km and Falcon XT EcoLPi sedan of 12.5L/100km (both tested to ADR81/02, combined cycle). Actual fuel consumption may differ.
Ute : Fuel costs based on fuel consumption figure for Falcon Ute cab chassis petrol (with optional 6-speed automatic) of 10.7L/100km and Falcon Ute cab chassis (6-speed automatic) Eco LPi of 13.9L/100km (both tested to ADR81/02, combined cycle). Actual fuel consumption may differ.

 

Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is safety compromised with an LPG system? A: Through thousands of computer simulations and real-world tests, Ford has clearly demonstrated that a Falcon running on LPG passes the same stringent safety tests as its petrol equivalent. Q: Is there a compromise on boot space? A: The Falcon sedan has a Temporary Mobility Kit (TMK) in lieu of a spare wheel. This increases usable boot space to a huge 464L.

Q: Is refuelling with LPG more difficult? A: Refuelling with LPG is no more difficult than with a petrol vehicle. The only difference is the nozzle must be screwed on as opposed to simply placed in the fuel filler. Q: Is LPG as readily available as petrol? A: LPG is available at over 4000 outlets Australia wide. Given how far you can go on one tank, you’re sure to be able to find several near you. To view LPG locations click here.

Q: Will a car with LPG cost more to service? Does it have lower resale value? A: Historically, an LPG fitted Falcon will actually command a premium over its petrol equivalent.^ Servicing intervals and warranty are identical. Q: Does the car take longer to start? A: Due to our new pre-priming system, fuel pressure will begin building as soon as the driver opens the car door – leading to minimal delays between getting in the car and being on your way.
