so i have been doing some research into running my car completely on propane.
you all may be fimilar with the vapor carb or vapor injection system that there are ebay kits for and other web sites selling kits. these tend to be low on power. need to be started on gas and warmed.
are many of you fimilar with LPI ?
I did some reading about it and started looking for lip injectors and coudn't find anything.
there are a lot of city trucks running on lpi in nyc. and apretly there are drag racers also running on lpi or similar.
so i simply tried it, i took a bbq can and ran it directly into my fuel rail into the 65# injectors and started it up ran .. then took it for a drive!
i have video of idling.
what i have learned is that there needs to be a pump and return system, the pump doesnt not need to raise the pressure high but to circulate in the event of the fuel rail getting hot or at least warmer than the tank causing evaporation or boiling. and mostly causing the engine hard to start after engine warmed up.
the power benefits are similar to e85 but with only a 10% loss of fuel economy to gas.
and propane is typically half the price of gas depending on your area.
do any of you have any insight on this ? am i wrong anywhere here ?
