Gas Vs Propane

JONNYFJ · 01-18-08, 01:35 AM

I know you all are a bunch of veggie freaks over here but I want to know your opinion on this. My 40 has a 383 CSB it produces about 425HP with a 900CFM carb running 93 octane fuel. do you think switching to propane would diminish power, all so I only get between 4 and 6 MPG right now does anybody know what I would get with propane????

Gasoline contains 110,000 btu per gallon, Propane contains 92,000 BTU per gallon, so yes there will be some reduction in power and MPG. more info at:
