Gary-- You have the Air Flow Meter pinned WFO, when it's on gasoline? Hmmmmm----- Interesting. So therefore, you are by-passing the computer when it is on gas. The computer thinks that the AFM is wide open all the time? More interesting------ I have a hard time understanding how in the hell, the thing would even run at low speeds without blubbering, due to an over rich signal coming from the AFM, to the computer. I just can't see it functioning like that. And you can't realize any different fuel economy whether it's on propane or gas? Propane delivers less MPG than dino fuel, so I would think that there would be a significant difference. And let me reiterate, the shortest distance between two points is a straight unobstructed line, and you start adding flappers, elbows, and butterflies, the path become choked, regardless how you look at it. So in theory, I ain't buying it. I believe that there is a way to cause the Vanagn to get more air, but I think it would be labor intensive, and monetarily cost prohibitive, for the small increase in overall performance gained. ______________ |[ ] [ ] [ ]\ | | | | ||-(())----(())-|
