Icom invented and patented the
revolutionary JTG® liquid propane
injection system and electronicallycontrolled LPG multivalve
Liquid Propane Injection System
JTG® System Advantages:
1) The JTG® system is ‘plug and play’ –
the fuel tank, fuel rails and hoses are
preassembled.
2) No need to alter OEM ECU in any way.
3) Propane injectors calibrated to match
gasoline injectors in amount of energy
delivered with fuel.
4) Complete standard OBDII factory
diagnostics.
5) Propane injection system not affected
by temperature changes.
6) No cutting, splicing nor soldering
required – only three electrical
connections needed to operate the
JTG® system: two to the battery for
power and one to the factory fuel
injector wire harness

vs.
Vapor Propane Systems
Power
Noticeable increase compared to gasoline vs. decrease for vapor.
Torque
Increase due to cooling effect as propane evaporates, increasing air-propane
mixture density. More mixture can be introduced into engine cylinders
increasing peak torque (and power). No such advantage for vapor systems.
Drivability
Better throttle response and no backfires vs. acceleration lag and explosions in
intake manifolds.
Cold Start
Reliable in cold climates. Vapor systems are affected by ice blockages.

Propane Tanks
The ICOM JTG® system can utilize virtually any propane vehicle tank including
cylindrical, manifold and toroidal. All tanks include the ICOM patented recessed
valves for the ultimate in protection and safety.
Icom utilizes the most advanced technology
and state-of-the-art tools to design its fuel
systems and components.

JTG-Dynamic Software
When you make changes to the maps with the JTG-Dynamic ECU connected, the software sends real-time map units with
the new changes.
It is possible to change the maps that are stored/saved by the
ECU. The changes/modifications can relate to a single cell, a
part of the map, or the entire map. Once you have identified
the area to change, you can increase or decrease the
corresponding value. By default, the change is a point at a
time. It is possible to perform other types of changes in the
drop-down menu TOOLS. Possible changes include, more
points per time or make a point to percentage change on the
map, you also have the possibility of displaying the map in 3D.
