Hey,
I was reading the local paper and in the Autos for sale section was a 92 S-10 natural gas powered truck for sale. This caught my eye and then I started to ponder. I suspect the trucks owner lives out in the sticks and has his own propane supply and or the truck was used as a company truck in which the company supplied the propane.
To my understanding, it's not difficult to convert your regular everyday vehicle to propane. How expensive it is to do it, I don't know but I am curious. To my knowledge, propane powered vehicles have alittle bit more oooomph to them as far as acceleration as well as they burn cleaner and get considerably better gas mileage vs. your regular unleaded gas vehicle. I would like to know more about this and look into as possibly maybe doing it myself someday?? Do I work for an industrial farm or have my own propane supply?? no. Something I like to ponder.
Ok now moving on to Kerosene(aka refined diesel) To my understanding, Kerosene is like race fuel as 110 octane is to a high performance car, correct?? Again to my knowledge, kerosene will give a diesel engine the same effect as far as acceleration and power goes as with a gas powered vehicle running on propane, more ooomph. Am I right??? I wonder, is it possible to convert a kerosene and then at the same time, install a Banks power pack system?? Talk about muchas towing power! Please don't laugh, I'm only free thinking and brainstorming. Thanks,,,,,,AR
