You don't stuff corn or rapeseed plants into your engine either, but ethanol as E85 or biodiesel.


Anyway, displacing diesel with LPG - or better still CNG - shows significant reductions in emissions, including C02, lower temperatures, more complete burning (hence the claims of increased efficiency), and reduced operating cost (as LPG and CNG are usually cheaper).

So the idea of simultaneously burning combustible gas isn't without merit.
