it is bad *** skip took me for a ride about 2003 when he was still with atkins rotary

 

how's the mileage on propane?

 

Amazing when compared to gas. Propane is pretty much gas 'fumes'
so highly combustable with maximum burn off. You'd be looking at
about 1:1.5 comapred to gas which is incredible.

 

cool truck... sucks he cut a hole inthe hood... would love to know more about the propane conversion

 

There was someone on nopistons I think that was doing a propane conversion write up but I never saw it finished. Yea I wondered why he had to cut the hood too. I wish it was closer so I could drive it, of course I only wanted to "test drive" the repu I have now....

 

Crazy!

 

propane is all about numbers...Propane burns alot more cooler and alot more efficiantly, which in turn gives he/she the better gas millage...There was a special on the speed channel about a chevelle that was built for street strip and daily driving custom built for propane and nothing but propane...Car was damn fast...

 

this looks scary fast

 

I have a 65 Chevy C-60 2-1/2 ton grain truck that I bought from some old farmer. It's dual fuel. Flip the switch under the dash and it runs on propane only. Propane tank was empty when I bought it so I never tried it out. Odd thing is, even though it has what I believe is a 327 V8, it has a tiny 1 barrel carb.

If I knew/understood more about the dual fuel setup, it wouldn't be that hard to convert most any gasoline engine. From what I've seen on the C-60, it seems simple enough to do. Hardest part would sourcing/tuning the correct carb that would work with both fuels.

 

Neighbors are gonna drain that tank into their BBQ.
