Alternative Fuels

Hey steptoe, I recognise your avatar from some other site i have talked to you on in the last year--but I have pretty W I D E auto interests from early camaros to mercedes diesels to vintage GMC trucks , mabe it was the H.a.m.b. , maybe 4btswaps, team camaro?

Far-out Maaaan.

Now about the upper post--the mixer ring is really just a shiny new thing that i dont even need--correct? i can just thread the hole cast in the carb between the barrels and stick a fitting--"Jet" in there and run the last hose from the vaporizer to the fitting--correct?

No a site i saw today about converting big chrysler imperials to LPG said that--the mileage was crap until he started cutting the air supply??

m8????

OK the engine is the 181 Merc--its been around since 62, Was the 153 chevyII 4 cylinder and has been in continuous production til currently. It was bequithed with port injection in 2007 and they are calling it the Vortech 300 these days, That motor has the injection ports in the head just past where...

Greetings, Im Truckeez ,
Have become interested in LPG possibilities, some say its still not feasable to pull off-others are pro can-do--as me. im working with a engine commonly run on CNG-I guess, they are common forklift engines-but with serious TWIST--more in the my project section.
