LP Conversion Kit

[MS38449]

Highya people,

Has any one had any luck finding a Liquid Propane Kit for our car, or has any one of you even thought about it?

im guessing you mean shooting it into the combustion chamber, right? i thought that was the nitrous for diesel engines. why don't you just consider nitrous instead?

 

[MS38449]

No dude,
I'm talking about pure LP. No gasoline, no nitrous. Just good old natural cheap fuel!

You could probably do it. The conversion would cost a couple or three thou, plus remember, LP has way less energy than gasoline. Even E85 may have more energy than LP.

Someone's been watching trucks I saw it too with the Roush Racing F150 LP conversion. I was thinking "could it work for our cars" but wrote it off. If there was actually any way, I would be very interested!

Subbing......

Same power, better mileage, cleaner burning, less expensive.

I don't know who here wouldn't be happy with the benefits(gtfo)

well there has to be a good reason we only use the s*** for grills, trailer parks, and fork trucks

If you were watching that episode of trucks, by the way, they also said that propane, even in that tank, is safer in a collision than gasoline. The only problem I see is that if everyone goes liquid propane injection, there isn't going to be enough AND it's gonna get hella expensive

The fuel markets naturally balance themselves over time. There are a lot of factors that determined we would still be using gasoline for our cars here in the US, while europe switched to diesel. Any wholesale change to another fuel would require complete restructuring of the refinery process here, and that costs a lot of $$$. Right now they don't even want to maintain what they have, let alone make changes requiring investment.

I think you'll find less BTUs/gal which will be less power and poorer fuel mileage. It does burn cleaner and it can be used inside, hence the ability to use it in forklifts. Don't know who'd waste the money on the conversion.

I know this is Wikipedia, but I bet the numbers are right:
