----------- original message ----------- I asked the list about that last year, I think.

The consensus was that it wouldn't work - because the gas is too dry - or something similar.

I don't really understand that, but I've never ran a diesel or lpg, either.

What I've been wondering lately is why in America, where diesel fuel is often more expensive than regular fuel, people don't run regular fuel in their diesels instead.

------------ reply -----------------

Well, you can't run LPG in a diesel, you can't run gas in a diesel, you can't run diesel in a gas engine. I'll let someone else explain why.

You can run up to about 20% LPG in a diesel. You can also run 100% LPG in a Gas engine. That is what I do because at the moment LGP is 1/2 the price of gasoline where I live. Propane is $0.31/liter, gasoline $0.61/liter. Many other advantages also.
