Propane Injection

[rkillpack]

Does anyone have any suggestions for someone considering propane injection?

Can you be more specific? You'll lose about 10% of your power and your mileage will be reduced by 10% as well.

What engine are you thinking of putting it on? How will the vehicle be used?

There's been a couple recent threads about propane, read thru them & see if you can find some answers.-

Ohh... I didn't think about it for a diesel.

Ive heard nothing but good things about it for diesels. increased power and milage. However, the info. Ive seen says propane will help the diesel burn completely therefore increasing milage. So what about the propane your burning? save a little diesel burn a little propane, it seems it would be a wash in the end.?. It is better for the big green ball supposedly.
yep propane and propane accessories Ill tell you what. yep, yep, unuh.

I guess it was a little ambiguous. I am converting a 396 BB to run strictly on propane. It will be purpose built to take advantage of the higher octane rating of propane and hopefully provide some decent power. By the looks of the responses and the help from Greg I can avoid many of the complaints that people might have with loss of power, and efficiency.

Following the same idea I am looking around at Duramax Silverados, possibly with the intent to trade my 01 suburban for one. They're nice form the shop but more power, better efficiency, and better fuel economy are nice to have.

Harkinoff is kinda our resident propane god. He'll know what to have you do.
