I didnt use a reg or a gauge so i dont know what the pressure was, just adjusted with a valve til it felt right. sorry i dont get on here much. Propane burns clean, you will never get black smoke from it.

10 lbs wrong.I was at 2psi.Mine will rattle if you try propane with no load.
Its amazing,like having another engine in the trunk.Still at manual stage,no hobbs switch yet.
Working on another project,with my M104.Nitrous to expensive,I try to save it,but theres always some youngin trying to race me.

You know I've thought about my engine with propane.Glad it can be removed,my engine has 335000 miles with some blow by.What if propane unburned collected in bottom of engine to a high level.Then a spark caused it to blow up,sending shrapnel everywhere.
I'm thinking the propane mod should be done to new diesels.
Or have forklifts imploded.

I'm thinking if you have enough blow-by to collect any significant amount of propane in the bottom end, it should be a pretty low oxygen environment to begin with because of all the exhaust.

See I've been on Truck Forums and they mentioned the blown engines when diesel were converted to full propane.I'm going back to propane miss my 0 to 60 umph.
