In this version the engine is already equipped for LPG operation: valve and valve seat setup, special intake manifold, special LPG injectors, wiring built in the car's wiring.

The petrol supply system is managed by a control unit that also controls both LPG ignition and injection.

Another control unit manages the LPG and petrol injectors.

The switching logic for the LPG/petrol fuel system takes place through the special switching button in the dashboard.

The LPG system is BUILT INTO the petrol system and does not affect its functionality in any operating condition.

The two control units manage the timed, sequential petrol or LPG injection and the activation of the LPG cut out solenoid valves as well as the LPG supply valve and the deactivation of the petrol pump during switching to LPG.
