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) |

You can search Google for more information on propane injection for diesel powered vehicles.
As far as adding it to gasoline, aside from the fun of driving around with a bomb in the car, most likely (assuming you don't blow up) you'll just foul your spark plugs really really quickly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
