acetylene is too unstable to inject into an engine... the fuel autoignites at around 25psi without any oxy... kinda hard to plumb it to the engine... I suppose a acetone impregnated line solution could be rigged up (catalyst to prevent the autoignition) , but I don't forsee any future installations...
oxy could be used, but I think it would cause the cylinders or pistons to melt. if any part of the iron block got hot, the oxy would instantly burn the iron...
Propane/O2 blend... scary.
