You look it up ? Interested ?


It's a loss of power, and before the costs came out to the same as gasoline. But now, different story. The problem is that most propane places may not sell you within reach of the car. That, and the state you live in may have something to say to you. If your state is heavy with the car taxes, they don't get their fuel taxes. CT wouldn't allow it.

But I'm going back, literally, 9 years ago.

Propane is teh rule.

Alot of people do that to diesel but as far as rotary I have to admit I've not heard of it but it sounds pimp. What are to specs on that motor?

That car is sweet tho congrats.

I'm always into looking at what can be done and a general understanding of the topic but I know of no large propane facilities to fill custom tanks(I'm assuming that what would be filled), and then there is the whole filling a tank within a certain distance of a car that you brought up . All the places to get it around here are the gas grill cylinder exchanges.

The GSL's and under have the 12A with only puts out 100hp, but the GSL-SE's had the 13B fuel injected motor with 135hp.
