Frequently Asked Questions
See the frequently asked questions about KME LPG systems.
Can an LPG system be fitted to my car?
KME systems from the NEVO-SKY range are a universal solution for spark-ignition engines fitted with electromagnetic injectors. This means we support most available car makes and models.
To make sure your car can be converted to LPG, it is best to ask a workshop. Please have the relevant details to hand to make the search easier. The following may be useful:
- Car model and make
- Year of manufacture
- Engine power and capacity
- Engine code or VIN number
Can a direct-injection engine be converted to run on LPG?
YES. We use NEVO-SKY DIRECT control units for cars with direct injection. However, you should expect a slight increase in fuel consumption when running on LPG, in order to protect the petrol injectors.
Will KME FENIX injectors be suitable for a 220 hp 4-cylinder car?
YES. KME FENIX injectors have a capacity of up to 65 hp per cylinder, so for a 4-cylinder engine they can handle a maximum of 260 km.
Take a look at the projects our workshop has completed using FENIX injectors.
How much will I save by driving on LPG?
LPG consumption depends on many factors and varies from car to car. It is also influenced by the driver’s driving style.
Our LPG Calculator will help you estimate the savings.
Why does the DIRECT controller consume fuel when running on gas?
As the petrol injector in a direct-injection engine is mounted inside the combustion chamber, it is exposed to extremely high temperatures and pressures. When running on petrol, the fuel flowing through it cools it down and prevents carbon build-up. Without a flow of fuel, the petrol injector may become damaged. Therefore, by ensuring the injectors are cooled and cleaned whilst running on gas, we guarantee the reliability and safety of your engine.
How often is it recommended to have the gas installation inspected?
As with standard car maintenance, it is recommended that the gas system be serviced every 10,000 km or once a year.
Where can I have a KME system installed?
To find a workshop in your area that we recommend, use the map, contact your regional advisor, or book an appointment at a company workshop.
Does the KME system comply with the Euro 6 standard?
Yes! Our systems are tested in accordance with the latest WLTP procedures at the Motor Transport Institute, in the same way as production cars are tested. Read more…
Will I receive a warranty for KME installations?
KME offers a 2-year warranty on its own products. The warranty for the gas installation is provided by the workshop where the installation was carried out.
What do I need to do after having a KME gas installation fitted?
You must visit the Transport Department where your car is registered and notify them that your car is now powered by LPG.
Please ensure you have the following documents with you:
- an extract from the type-approval certificate for the installation of a system adapting a given type of vehicle for gas fuel;
- a tank certificate, known as a ‘passport’ (issued by the installation company after fitting, but originating directly from the manufacturer); this is a certificate confirming that the tank has been inspected and approved for use by the Transport Technical Inspectorate;
- an invoice for the service provided (this should include the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the vehicle registration number, if the vehicle is already registered);
- vehicle registration document.
