I have propane injection installed on my Mercedes, and my kit (Powershot
2000) states that you don't want to inject straight LP.  Rather, you want
the liquid to become vaporized and be ingested in a gaseous state.  I'm
pretty sure this is standard practice, no matter the type of
injection/fumigation system.

BTW:  Is the kit you're using boost sensitive--i.e. does it release a
progressive amount of propane based upon the level of boost present?  It's
my understanding that some kits are simply boost triggered, and just release
a fixed amount of propane irrespective of the amount of boost pressure in
the manifold.   Just curious.
