Added a DIY propane injection, went from 20 mpg to 28 mpg. A 30# propane bottle lasts me about 1200 miles.
Total cost of propane system? 120 bucks from Tractor supply, O'Reillys, and the propane gas store....Took me 1 weekend....Been running it 3 years on a 350,000 mile cummins, 91' 350D Cab and Chassis with flatbed.
Do you have a write up/instructions for this? I'd be interested in taking a look.
