Own/manage an aircraft & industrial turbine engine overhaul and test facility in Northern British Columbia. Currently the only turbine engine test facility in the world using propane as the primary fuel. Engine supplier to two Land Speed Record attempt cars. ("North American Eagle-II" and "Sonic Arrow")
Been involved with propane converted vehicles since the late 1970's, and currently enjoy "pushing the limits" on diesel/propane augmentation and doing what others say cannot be done.

Just how much propane vapour does a LM-1500 consume at half throttle anyway? Must be one big vapourizer, guess an Impco model E won't do eh? LOL
