Default LPG V Methanol
Hi there to all,

Right then been racking m brain for ages over this...

What is a better used as a power adder for diesel engines?
LPG/propane injection or methanol injection?

Which provides the most gains?

Cost isn't an issue

Cheers

J

LPG and propane are one and the same for this purpose. Butane is rarely used due to it's inability to vaporise below 6 degrees celsius.

Yeah, I would be using either as a perfromance additive rather than saving money,

There is a lot to be had by using either but I have come to the conclusion that Propane will be the best for what I want.
