Re: Ya ready for diesel yet?
I get a couple less mpg with propane than I do with petrol.

Re: Ya ready for diesel yet?
True, however the tanks have a pressure loss switch on them that shuts off
the supply if too much comes out too quickly. By the time it hits the carb,
it isn't pressurized. Or put it like this, I'll bet it is a damn sight safer
than petrol where petrol vapour can ignite from 20' away. Darwin-wise,
petrol isn't clever. Remember the Jaguar XJ6s, the Crown Victorias that
burnt the occupants to a crisp on a rear ender ? We have all got used to
sitting on tanks (in your *****'s case literally) of the burny stuff.

Re: Ya ready for diesel yet?
Hi Dave,
The detection for ice must be at the throttle plates, that's the
part that kills when it's stuck wide open. Of course it going to stop
back at the diaphragm's orifice when it freezes shout, that's not a
concern. You have heater hoses trying to solve that problem, but at full
throttle do you think they are adequate to also heat gases of probably
six hundred cubic feet per minute passing the throttle plate?

The question you should ask is, if LPG is so dangerous, where are all
the crispy critter LPG occupants and incinerated or smashed vehicles??
There are none. Bill keeps pointing out an incident that does not and
apparently has never happened in the whole of history.
He can not cite one single incident of LPG stuck throttle. Not
anywhere ever. And if it did happen it would very likely not cause a
crash unless the driver was drunk or incompetent or Alzheimer's-addled.
