The only real advantage to using LP is off road where you can run near verticle and still get fuel. Of course your oil pickup may not like it. LP is a by product of oil refining. The prices track that of gasoline. There is less stored energy in LP so you will not get as many miles per gallon with it. I wouldn't mess with it.

It also produces about 10-15% less power then gasoline does.

but it also creates less emissions and burns clean which can cause the engine to last longer.

i would do the swap if I could amass the pieces for less then the 3000 for a kit plus they want installed and a switch between the two. propane is way cleaner and could run it just tooling around town. when its time to play, flip the switch to gas and have the power back in action.

The first pic is where the gas line comes to.
2nd is the intake. I have to find someone to hook it up and test it if I am going to use it.

if it is all in place and in working order you have many advantages. runs cleaner, cooler and the best of both worlds being duel. check on line for much info on this. the setup itself is the only stopper for me. you have a jule.
keep us updated if you go forward or let me know if you would like to sell the lp setup.

I am hoping to get some manuals on the set-up so I know how it should run.
