Dude what do you expect? Nobody here or probably in this country for that matter has done what your talking about. With that said, how are we supposed to give you advice. If your going to attempt something this obscure and difficult expect things to be very complicated and slow. If your really concerned with emissions get a damn prius/yaris/little Toy car.

THIS would make people realize that ya not trying to use it as some sort of octane enhancer to use WITH gasoline.......

...like everyone is thinking.


...and it 'aint gonna be easy until ya get the ecu programming down.

GFL

...and ya just nutz, too.....

haha wow this turned into a pissing contest quick

i thought propane has a higher octane rating?

yes there are ecus out there that can pulse 8 injectors look at redline fuel injections (i work with them hehe)

the question is how much is it work to you?

you get the carpool lane hehe

it would be a one off and you would have tons of headaches dont expect to get your car back to running great within six months to a year. running lines a pump a tank tuning ect ect
