I was just thinking this evening about my last employer, how they had a forklift that had a Propane driven I-4 engine from Nissan in it.
I was just wondering what kind of effects, say, propane would have if you added it to the air/fuel mixture of a gasoline engine? Any idea what the biproducts of it would be? Any potential power gain? Just tossing ideas around... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

I doesn't sound like you have thought this out at all. If you are thinking that you could just turn on the propane as you would using NO2, then you are in for a big surprise. Lets say you have the engine running on gasoline, then add propane to the intake runners. Now you have lots of fuel and a reduced amount of air proportional to the amount of propane being added. What is your air/fuel ratio now? How do you think the engine will run?
