Page is cr 2012. But article goes back to 2010 or before: "The first engine system has been developed for the International DT466 engine and is expected to launch in mid-2011..." not a new concept. was discussed here a long time ago, as I recall. There was a time when LPG was inexpensive (which can be said about diesel and almost anything else). The alternative that has become somewhat more affordable, due to a relatively abundant supply, is CNG. | |||

Interesting article about an old technology. Obviously it is oriented around selling their products. There are some incorrect statements as well. While the statements about power increases (in a diesel application) pollution is correct, the statements about cost is NOT. My last fill of propane was nearing $4.00 per gallon. I will buy 30 gallons at a time and look for the local propane supplier for heating and general usage rather than a road station. I have a propane generator and while it is relatively quiet and smooth running, it is very costly to operate and no where near as efficient as a gasoline or diesel powered unit.

...as I understand it propane injection is not to be used as the main fuel but to augment the fuel that is being used! _________________________ The 82 MCC {by Barth} is not an rv-- it is a Motor Coach!! | ||||
