How many people use propane in their 24valves? Do you have to buy the 900$ kit? How much better is the fuel economy and how long does the propane last, besides how big the tank is? Thanks, HecTiK.

On this site I have never seen anyone say anything positive about propane and thats about all I know .

You can easily make plenty of fuel with our truck IMO you would be better off investing in a turbo and a box. A lot of the ford guys use propane to help get more fuel into the motor

Been running propane close to ten years, absolutely love it. With my setup I get around 1000 miles with ten gallons of propane if I'm towing and bout 1500 just daily driving. I recently put a water\meth system on my 95 and cant say that I like it at all, in my opinion propane is the way to go.

How many gallons of fuel to go with the ten gallons of propane?

Gunrunner

Depending on how I drive it the mileage varies, but generally when I'm towing with propane I get right at 14mpg (that's highway speeds, no babying it) When empty it gets 18-20 mpg with propane.

I guess I stand corrected you must be one of the silent ones that don't
talk about it much.

Do a search, it has been discussed at length on here in the past.

I have but it still is not all of a populair subject on the high performance side.

i have a propane injection setup i designed on my dodge,
the only problem i see is regulating the amount of propane being injected, if you inject too much, all it does is use propane with no noticeable improvements......
on a recent trip of 2500 miles pulling my fifth wheel i used about 50 gallons of propane. my normal fuel consumption without propane was around 9 mpg. with i got 9.5 to 10.
i have since regulated the amount to about 1/2 of what i had, now i'm useing less propane and getter better mileage(around 20 empty). but i haven't pulled the trailer since i changed it....

Most fuel mileage gains I've heard of are about 1 mpg tops. I wonder why it's so little.

I used to run LPG when I used the truck for towing and with the EEETEE Digital system I was getting 22-27 mpg(empty) ( NO B.S.) and was mixing approx 1-1.6 liters of LPG to 10 Litres of #2. It's an awesome system to run on mild trucks less than 400 whp, above that start buying head gaskets by bulk.
