Re: alternative fuels ideas and questions
the propblem with these alternative fuels is that 1) for many there isn't the infrastructure, 2) it's expensive to convert and 3) they dont contain as much energy.
with propane, as mentioned before, it doesn't have the same ammount of energy, so you get less power and less gas mileage. so if you have the same volume of liquid propane as liquid gasoline, you wont go further. also, getting that propane into a liquid form in your gas tank is difficult. converting wouldn't be much of a problem but you probably wouldn't be able to use your mpfi system. you could probably usesome form of tbi or something similar where you have one large injector upstream of the intake manifold. this would be cheaper and easier.
another thing is that to get the most ouot of your propane system you would have to increase the compression ratio significantly. i don't know the exact figgures but it's above what a gasoline engine can do without alcohol or water injection (so somewhere above 14:1)
