Before Proceeding - 

 

The FP50 Fuel Processor 

requires an Oxygen Sensor 

input, a Throttle Position 

Sensor input and a Pulse 

input. This processor should 

not be installed if these three 

inputs are not available. 

Optional Resistive Emulation 

is available as are separate 

complex emulators. Please 

seek further details from 

your distributor before 

installing if you are unsure 

of its suitability. 

 

The processor drives a high quality stepper valve (CV30) to 
control the gas mixtures accurately via a 90 degree rotational 
barrel. This valve operates continuously whilst driving on LPG or 
CNG. The slotted barrel rotates slowly to achieve the exact air fuel 
ratio required - unless it receives an increased load signal from the 
throttle position sensor (in which case it opens very much faster). 

The CV30/CE30 is made with brass sintered bearings and 
contains no gears or worm drives to wear out. The design life 
of the valve is in excess of 500,000km.

 

 

 

HIGH PERFORMANCE FUEL PROCESSOR MODEL FP50 

3 Models:                                                      

(3

rd

 Edition)

 

FP50-DS-SS (Dual Start with Safety Switch) 

FP50-DC (Changes over on Deceleration with Safety Switch) 

FP50-AC (Changes over on Acceleration with Safety Switch)  

 

FP50 Features: 

 

High Performance Microprocessor running at 20Mhz with 14 bit wide instructions; 

 

286 microsecond worst case loop times (this gives the mathematical power to calculate 
the exact air/fuel ratio in real time); 

 

Two different air/fuel ratios — one for increased engine power during acceleration (and 
when under constant heavy load) and a second to provide excellent economy while 
cruising. This makes the FP50 an excellent choice for vehicles that tow heavy loads yet 
require maximum economy; 

 

Adjustable Rev-Changeover point (FP50-DC & FP50-AC models); 

 

Adjustable Dual Fuelling when changing from petrol to LPG/CNG (all models); 

 

Inbuilt Safety Switch that accepts signals from vehicle coil, tachometer, or flywheel; 

 

Fuel Injector Emulation (Optional - Simple Resistive); 

 

Rich/Lean Lambda Tuning Lights; 

 

Oxygen Sensor Emulation. 

 

Suitable for 1.3 to 6.2 litre vehicles 

 

The mathematical calculations required to ensure fast air/fuel compliance are carried out by 
a high performance microprocessor. Acceleration override and air/fuel calculations are given 
priority. Usual minimum petrol injector pulses are in the vicinity of 2 milliseconds compared 
to the FP50’s worst program loop times of 286 microseconds. The FP50 is therefore able to 
calculate the required air fuel ratio 6.9 times faster than the minimum petrol injector pulse. 
This places the FP50 in a new 
performance class which is  
only exceeded by electronic 
fuel injection systems.
