propane kits?
 
is there any kits avalable that use injection?
the only ones I can find are the inefficient adapters for carbed engines.

I read that when propane is injected in liquid form it's actoually more efficient than gasoline.

btw, I am NOT talking about propane injection like nitrous, but making the car run off propane totally.

There is a guy here in Murfreesboro, TN who is nearly done with his Propane FC. From what I understand he is using the propane injection and air/fuel controller from a Toyota Forklift. I haven't seen it yet, but as soon as he is done he is supposed to bring it out. If I can get any more info, I will. I don't really know him, but I can possibly contact him as Garfinkle has helped him sort out alot of his engine build questions and may have his number.

Propane is lower in BTU than gasoline, so you would have reduced HP.

1 gallon of propane = 9/10 pf a gallon of gasoline... (in fuel usage terms).....

Don't expect a lot of power.. you wont get more MPG..... but.... Propane is cheaper and cleaner..

Too bad it's a byproduct of the refining industry. I wonder how long it will be until it gets expensive too?
