Since LPG has a weight per cubic foot density similar to diesel it would make sense that BTU specs would be the same. However substituting LPG as a motor fuel reveals a drastic sum difference in economy. This is curious.
Water has 20% greater density than diesel, but I have yet to find a way to burn it!
They’ve been doing it since the 1800’s.
Google “oxyhydrogen generator”.
Wiki entry for Oxyhydrogen
A Canadian company developed a process a few years back where they added a device to transport trucks that converted distilled water into Oxyhydrogen and injected it into the engine when the turbo came on as a power booster of sorts. It works quite well, far better overall than propane injection.
This process involves the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen gasses. I was speaking of the LIQUID known as 'water'.
Well if you want to get technical about it, the LIQUID gasoline, diesel or propane doesn’t burn either, just the vapour it produces.
