the reason to use propane is the price , gasoline ist not cheap in cr almost 6 dollars ONE GALLON 3.785 LITERS v8 engine love gasoline the propane is 2 dollars the gallon , you see mi point now?
the propone system is not cheap the price is one million CR money , 2000 dollars but they save you alot of money in gasoline , the propane system is a full inyeccion system they use ecu ,wiring ,map sensor ox sensor and propane inyector , the propane ecu stolen the signal from the gasoline ecu and reproduce the signal to the propane inyectors and disconect the gasoline inyectors ist a very good design all the propane system is made in italy , the propane system use a propane tank , the propane is liquid they travel to a cooper pipe from the tank to evaporator the evaporator is hot used engine coolant to work and they made the conversion liquid to gas the rest is simple the same design like gasoline fuel injectors regulators fuel rail and bla bla bla
