Has anyone looked in to converting their vehicles into propane powered?
I looked into converting my vehicle to propane many years ago as I worked as an operator of an LPG fractionating plant. Propane does have the advantage of causing a lot less carbon build up in an engine thus possibly allowing an engine to go longer between oil changes and last longer. The down side is the ethyl mercaptain they put in propane is corrosive. At normal doses this is not a problem but many times I saw double doses used when filling tank trucks at the plant loading docks.
The companies were especially paranoid of lawsuits arising from home explosions and investigations showing that undetectable levels of ethyl mercaptain were used to give the gas that rotten egg smell. Propane will pretty much last forever. As far as I know the only limiting factor is the tank life. If you have the money to convert a vehicle to propane and just let it sit for a bug out vehicle and change or test the tank every 12 years, go for it. It would serve that purpose great.
As an everyday driver, not really worth the investment in my opinion. I had it installed on a new Ford F PU with the ci 6 cylinder engine. This was done by a fair sized propane dealership that catered to commercial businesses. This was during the oil embargo spoken of. I also converted a 62 VW Beetle air-cooled 4 cylinder to run off propane during this same time period. Without going into detail, it required an adjustable regulator on the tank and a demand diaphragm valve at the carburetor.
I ran the VW off a 20 bottle. As texasprepper pointed out, you lose performance on propane. I was approaching , miles on that Ford, still not using any oil between changes, until my son decided he could beat that red light. Thanks for the info guys!
It sounds like under the right circumstances the conversion might be worthwhile. Canning on my 2 burner propane stove, I use to get almost 5 cycles per 4 gal, now I get only 3. Do the burners on a propane get worn out? If you are still getting that nice pretty blue flame you are burning about as efficiently as you can.
If you are seeing lots of yellow flame check your fresh air tubes. If they are clear and you are still getting yellow flames, chances are pretty good either your burners are bad or your gas orifice has eroded some.
I also buy all my tanks new. Could probably find somewhere cheaper to get them filled but the owner of the store is a friend and I very much like keeping my business local when possible, Still way cheaper than the tank exchange places.
Another note, as I understand it those OPD devices are required on all portable tanks. By law, propane filling stations are not supposed to refill them. How timely an article.
