Re: Project: Turbo 250

Yeah, I have been through them all a few times. For sure that is the same color!

As far as the propane, As I understand it, it is like running a higher octane fuel. The a/r changes to about 9.5:1 and gallon for gallon it is about 12% less efficient. HOWEVER at $1.60/gallon compared to $4+ per gallon... that less efficiency is negligible when you look at cost to run. The lines and carb and intake piping I am looking at around $500 and the tank is about $500 as well. If I got rid of the current fueling system that I have which is all still brand new, I could probably get around $650-700
