It could also work for 4 wheel drive when needed in snow.

Propane has detonation issues, it's not so safe to be used in a Diesel as CNG or even ethanol, and it actually doesn't have the same effect as nitrous oxide since it's a fuel instead of a combustion enhancer. Would be better to just get a turbo instead of using propane. A water+methanol injection would be better than propane since it acts like a chemical intercooler while avoiding detonation issues, and it also decreases the risks associated to the glycerin polymerizing while using WVO.
