Propane Injection
Does anybody know anything about injecting propane into a Diesel motor.
A friend told me he is looking at putting a propane tank on his power stroke. He told me you don't get 100% burn on a diesel motor and that the propane would give you the 100% resulting in a big horsepower gain.
Just wondering.

I am running propane for over 50000 miles...
the diesel is right at 80% efficient...adding propane as a catalyst(even though its a fuel), makes the pane fire off at about 14 to 1, then you have a fire to inject your diesel into...almost as good as a sparkplug...
raises efficentcy to 95%...
It works and adds 100hp and 200 ft lbs...
But if not setup right WILL take out the engine....
