[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 1571646, member: 1384"] I appreciate the idea of dual fuel, but it seems awfully convoluted when there are literally no benefits to propane as a fuel for a road vehicle. It's safer and simpler in industrial applications and rock crawlers than liquid gasoline and burns cleaner than diesel, that's why it's used. Do you have an existing kit/conversion that is for dual fuel with a TBI setup? Unless there is something I'm greatly overlooking, it seems that you'd be better served as gasoline for you main engine fuel, and maybe use propane as a back up? Although with a Suburban, I think I'd be looking at the larger gasoline tank and a smaller propane tank. That said, if you trust this engine builder, and he has the extensive experience in alt fuel engines in similar applications, then why in the world are you asking a bunch of rock-donkeys that just crash their **** in the woods about propane engines? Propane was popular 15 years ago when most of the vehicles that people were starting with to build rigs were carbureted, and EFI conversions were considered expensive and less reliable. Nowadays, you'd be hard pressed to find a new build using propane unless it's someone using leftover parts from an old rig. [/QUOTE]
