Propane is like nitrous for diesel engines, I dont know what benefit or drawback it could cause for a gasoline engine. I bet this guy made a mistake and now needs to dump it.

Propane injection has been experimented with quite a bit on gas engines,it makes huge power,gets awesome mileage,and the only drawback is your car looks like the OK city building if you wreck just right.I know that smokey yunick experimented with it quite a bit and tried to sell detroit on the idea but they told him it was just too dangerous.Basically it is just a much more efficient fuel kinda like nitro but not as volatile,it makes the motor act like it has a higher compression ratio in terms of how it effects the engine.

I was toying with making a kit for cars awhile back. I've seen guys make HUGE power with propane. But there are 2 many legal problems, I could see some idiot hurting himself and suing me. If you have a leak or an open atmosphere BOV your destined for an explosion. I might toy with the idea when I get back stateside. You can build a kit for like 200 bucks.
