Because the basic manual keeps your system running. The “Top” level keeps it perfect—maximum power (LPI actually increases octane), minimal emissions, and injector life beyond 150,000 miles. It treats the Vialle not as an LPG conversion, but as a precision fuel system worthy of a Formula 1 engine.
Final line from the “Top” intro: “Forget everything you know about propane. This is liquid. It obeys different gods.”
So next time you see that blue Vialle badge, respect it. And if you have the “Top” manual, you’re not a mechanic—you’re a priest of the liquid flame.
A key feature of the Vialle LPi (Liquid Propane Injection) system is its ability to inject LPG into the engine's intake manifold in liquid form rather than as a vapor. Liquid Injection Benefits
According to the Vialle LPi Technical Manual , this specific feature provides several technical advantages over traditional vapor-based systems:
Precise Metering: Because fuel is in a liquid state, it can be metered with much higher accuracy, allowing the LPG system to closely mirror the performance of the original petrol injection system.
No Power Loss: Unlike vapor systems that use a venturi or other throttles in the inlet system, liquid injection maintains the intake's airflow, resulting in no loss of engine power.
Cooling Effect: As the LPG changes from a liquid to a vapor upon injection, it absorbs heat from the intake air. This lowers the temperature and increases the density of the intake charge, which can lead to higher volumetric efficiency and even improved performance compared to petrol.
Backfire Prevention: By injecting fuel directly at the inlet valves, the system prevents the accumulation of gas in the intake manifold, which eliminates the risk of consequential damage from backfires. Vialle LPi Technical Manual
