Whats the difference between injecting gasoline versus lpg? they are both

Liquid Propane Gas is only liquid under pressure, I guess if you
would inject it than it would remain liquid until it would explode anyway. Why don't you convert and tell us how you did it: http://lsa.colorado.edu/essence/texts/propane.htm LOL God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ Jason Halsey wrote: > > Whats the difference between injecting gasoline versus lpg? they are both > liquids. |

Bill,
I did a quick check, and the propane in my outdoor storage tank is at 100 psi. If you have injectors capable of handling 100 psi liquid, then I suppose you could dispense with the fuel pump, and just let the liquid squirt into the intake ports under pressure. You would have to use larger ported injectors, because liquid propane has less energy per unit volume than liquid gasoline. Theoretically, it would work. It is not used, for practical reasons. The reasons for using fuel injection with gasoline do not apply as much to propane. The first consideration is mixing. Gasoline doesn't mix as well with intake air, because it is a liquid. It has to be coaxed to mix with air and become a gas, suitable for combusion. You may have heard this process referred to as "atomization". With propane, you just release the pressure on it, and it becomes a gas on its own. Another reason for fuel injection is more precise metering. With propane, you allow the fuel to become a gas before injection into the intake, you control the pressure and the mixing ratio, and metering is a snap. A third reason may make propane injection useful. This is the ability to deliver larger quantities of fuel, using smaller plumbing and metering apparatus. Anyone who has looked at propane regulators and plumbing, versus gasoline or diesel fuel injection systems, can verify that liquid fuel injection simply takes up less space. Your link says that "Propane-fueled engines produce less air pollution than gasoline engines." I would think, for this reason, that you would be in favor of propane use, not against it. Although not as bad as diesel, gasoline does smell bad. Propane doesn't smell, unless you count the aromatic compounds added to it, to facilitate leak detection. Earle "L.W.

Dad used propane on a tractor for a while but at even moderately
chilly weather (say 20 F or so) starting was a bear. He finally used the pressure as a pump to start with gasoline then switched to propane after he got the pre-heater going. His problem was getting it to vaporize - it wanted to condense on the metal parts rather than burn clean until things warmed up.

Interesting. Remember farm equipment that would start on gasoline, and then
you had to manually switch to diesel, once the engine warmed up? I worked in an apple orchard where they used propane for the fork trucks in the packing house. They always started up, even when it was real cold. Of course, "real cold" in Virginia is not the same as "real cold" in other locales.

So basically it boils down to whether you want to carry around a
bomb. You know you may extinguish a match in gasoline and that it will only explode if is atomized in a fifteen to one mixture.
