Wow!  A new wrinkle.  My guess is that LP would work pretty much the same.  About $5 a gallon here in Paradise.  I wonder what Natural Gas goes for on the mainland.

Yep, propane will work the same. Right now propane is about $2.79/gallon and nat gas is about $1.20/100,000 BTU here in OR. Road diesel is still hovering around $4.00...

Still waiting to get the natural gas service setup at my new shop, I'm hoping for something under $1/therm on the commercial rate.

So it must run TWO years on a single tank, yes? ;-)

I've tried propane fumigation on several of my diesel generators and it really makes an improvement in the smoothness, power output and cleanup of exhaust but if I go more than 20-30% contribution (I'm guessing) of total fuel in LP the engine knocks horribly like it will soon come apart.  How are you guys injecting 75% gaseous fuel?
