Propane Powered Engines Featuring a 7.3 Ford and 6.7 Cummins

Propane equipment supplier to add propane to your gas engine. A couple of interesting points: This supplier claims engine factory performance is still maintained. That 6.7 cummins has a turbo which means that the gas powered version will also have a turbo. This has to be the first Cummins engine with spark plugs.

Sorry forgot to include link.

    Yawn.... Check out the energy capacity of propane vs Gasoline or Diesel. You's be cutting your driving range to a fraction of what it is currently. Or hauling around a massive and heavy, large propane tank. This as pointed out above is old tech and usable by short range vehicles only. Propane does burn very cleanly and probably improve engine life but you will pay for it.
    Same applies to hydrogen plus adding hydrogen's many other problems.


    Yes... But I think I would rather have this than a EV truck that maybe able to pull your camper ~100 miles at best. Plus these guys claim they're able to maintain factory power.

    Propane gas engines as well as propane or NG diesels using a diesel to start ignition and propane/NG injected into the manifold have been around for a long time. Propane is compatible with either spark ignition or compression ignition engines.
