I have seen quite a few vehicles down here in the El Paso and Juarez area that have converted their vehicles to run solely on propane. These are mostly Mexican vehicles and they convert due to the extremely high cost of fuel in Mexico (+/-$4.50 per gallon) compared to propane at $1.20 +/- per gallon.
It is mainly on trucks (F150's, Silverado's, etc.). I see these propane tanks mounted either in the beds or even on top of the cab.
I haven't really looked into this yet nor have I really asked anybody about it besides Devilmanvisa, but, what would it take to convert our engines over to run solely on LP? I can't seeing it being that expensive as there are many vehicles in Mexico like this and I don't believe the money is there to perform a $4000 modification. It would have to be very inexpensive.
I know the octane level is extremely high comparitively to pump gas and probably even race gas, but what would be the pros and cons of this? Would we be able to boost higher at a lesser cost? Would there be a HP loss?
I don't really know anything about this but thought I would throw the question out there.
