Diesel Pusher RV Fuel Economy Booster
If you own a turbo diesel motorhome and are looking for a way to increase your MPG and decrease your money spent at the pump, the Diesel Pusher MPG Max kit from Snow Performance is an option you should consider.
Snow Performance is the industry leader in water-methanol injection kits. They make water-methanol injection kits for most diesels on the road today, and the diesel RV is no exception. If you’re not familiar with the concept of injecting water and methanol, here are the basics. But understand that with this kit in your RV, we’re talking about only injecting water. More on that in a minute.
- Water and methanol are injected via nozzles in the area around the inlet to the intake manifold or on the pipe leading from the intercooler to the intake manifold.
- This happens when the diesel is “under boost.” In this state, there is enough heat and velocity and flow to absorb the water and methanol.
- Water and methanol injected in this way will lower the air intake charge temperature by up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Cooler air is denser air, meaning more oxygen molecules for combustion.
- Water vaporization inside the combustion chamber increases torque and power output, with the water expanding as steam.
- Exhaust gas temperatures are reduced, sometimes by as much as 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Combustion efficiency is increased, meaning emissions are decreased.
- Fuel economy due to better fuel combustion is increased.
With an RV, it isn’t very feasible to mount a separate tank sufficiently large to hold enough water and methanol. The good news is, just injecting water will still increase power and fuel economy, and your RV already has a big water tank.
You can attach the MPG Max to your existing fresh water tank. This will give your diesel pusher MPG Max kit a very large capacity reservoir and that means thousands of miles of maintenance-free use. The cost of running becomes extremely low with a significant return on investment!
Fuel economy gains of .75 to 1.25 mpg on a diesel pusher RV with this kit using just water are normal. If you have an RV with a diesel particulate filter, using this kit will not adversely affect regeneration. This kit comes with a 40 foot long wire harness, allowing you to use the LCD display, which also serves as a set of digital gauges. If you’re not familiar with all the benefits of water methanol injection kits you owe it to yourself to learn more.
