Do you have any experience or knowledge of that? How about you slowmover, or anyone? I've already got propane on board, all I have to do is add the regulator and the hose. I've talked to several guys with big class A's that swear they get a solid 10 to 15% with it. I'm running around 16 to 17mpg now, if I can get a little out of the improvements still in the works and then add another 10% on top of that, I'd be RV'n in tall cotton! Still shooting for the big two zero!!
M.R.Sharkey's VW Diesel Rabbit Pusher-type range-extender trailer has propane injection.
I believe he recycled a used BBQ grille LP regulator and orifice to make his.I don't have that material with me,but you could GOOGLE his project.I don't recall him mentioning specific mpg results,but I don't trust my memory.I believe Sharkey has email contact info at his site.You might be able to bounce questions off him.
