You can get around that pretty easy with propane fumigation.
You may want to try a VW K03 turbo with that kabota 950. If I can ever pick up a kabota 950 to build a generator I plan on using one of my K03 turbos on it.
The Kabota with a turbo may be just large enough to try water methanol injection.
