[QUOTE="Redgully, post: 1618199, member: 33533"] Propane is really good when running right and really not when running poorly. They have pretty good systems now, but the old regulators and convertors were a nightmare. The engines like it as they don't wear much. It does run very dry though. My biggest issue is the drop in hp you get, so you find you are a little harder on the go pedal and use a fair bit of extra fuel so the cheaper price means squat at the end of the day. Also if you run out you simply run out, can't go with your can for a gallon or two. I know a guy that ran out an hour away from a station out bush, so he got a gas cooking cylinder and ran a tube to the air intake. Car would start and had just enough rpm to keep him moving, made it to the station a few hours later. Since the turbo diesel was developed to what it is today propane around here has really dried up.
