VW TDI Diesel Gets 120 MPG on one Gal of Diesel with CNG blend!!

I have this on Freds TDI site and
I have how I build the kit at my site www.CNGVW.wordpress.com
It has been working very good before some of you start to go wild please view both site.


VW TDI Diesel Gets 120 MPG on one Gal of Diesel with CNG blend!!
I will give the math up front. 2001 VW TDI 129 K using my new CNG blend test system.
Round trip 90 % Highway 75-80 MPH.
60 Miles round trip used .51 Gal of Diesel and 1.2 GAL (GGE) of CNG yes I have the slips.
That is a 60% blend of CNG it has very smooth power to boot.
The EGT never went over 990F on long uphill pulls.
Using this system should give you a 70% reduce in fuel cost per mile traveled
If I do the math right here on an average a TDI gets 45 MPG at $4 a GAL that is 11.2 cents costs per mile traveled.
Using a CNG blend system it cost 03.3 cents per mile traveled on Diesel. CNG cost per mile traveled is
.02 cents at $1.00 a GAL (GGE). If I did the math right someone please check it that is a cost of
05.2 cents per Mile traveled a savings of 58.2 %. I pay for home fueling now .40 cents a GAL that should push me in the 80% saving on fuel cost.
I have over 1000 miles on this test system no codes just works.

Hi Bob,
To a 'limey' paying more than $8 USGal for diesel here in the UK your kit sounds very interesting, but what does CNG stand for? Is it something Natural Gas? Our domestic gas is natural, and if I could use that to supplement the running costs of my '99 Mk4 Golf Tdi it'd be very useful. My car has over 115 thousand miles and still averages between 50 and 58mpg.

All the best,
Ernie

Hello It stand for Compressed Natural Gas we run 3000 PSI or 3600 PSI systems. I do have a LP system to I just need to do a few test runs with it

Thanks Bob, I'll keep an eye on here to see what you come up with.

Hello, I am SERIOUSLY interested in this solution for economy as I drive over 580 miles per week commuting. That rounds out to ~ $200 per month but if your solution is safe as reported and accurate, I could drive a month or more on a single tank of diesel + CNG!

I've checked out your blog and want to know more please thanks!

Hello I just did a Youtube on how the car looks and drives.

3600psi? No thanks. Not worth the 20% in fuel savings.

As stated on TDIClub, you can't really claim 120mpg. This was not just on diesel fuel alone, you also used CNG so saying you get 120mpg on diesel is bogus.

I see you can not read please show what you have don lattley.

So what's the mileage considering you're burning both CNG and diesel? You can't just state the diesel mileage, when half of what the engine is burning is CNG.
