Four Venturi Carbureted Off-Road LPG Single Fuel System

Found this while researching for a propane conversion. Seems like a nice turn-key setup.

Apparently Technocarb can build any size 4bbl carb for your system.

 

Here is an interesting LPG tank design that should make a conversion easier.

Those work REALLY well, I've seen them at use on sand dune monsters at Glamis. No fuel slosh, no pump needed, no starvation. Only downside (for a daily driver) is the lack of propane filling stations. I would look into using removable propane cylinders like forklifts do, so you could have one or two at home as spares.

 

P.S. Some people complain about the smell of burnt propane. Go to Home Depot and smell their forklifts. If you're okay with your car smelling like that, the go ahead!

Found a vendor selling this 810 CFM, 800 HP "kit".

That's not really a downside...if you are commuting youcan easily locate two or three stations and fill as required.

 

The real downside to Propane is for the guys that live up north.

 

At -40 there is no tank pressure. The propane goes fluidic, and unless you supply heat to the tank, you won't likely get any tank pressure unless it warms up. THAT is a REAL downside.

 

4bbl would work well on the available manifolds!
