Propane is typically vaporized before being fed into the airstream going into the engine. But, if you read my blog again, you'll see that simply converting from gasoline to propane won't give you a great gain (most people get a loss of power).
Propane is a different fuel, like gasoline and diesel are different. You wouldn't put diesel in a gasoline engine or gasoline into a diesel engine.
Propane WILL burn in an engine designed for gasoline without damaging the engine, but if you actually want a mileage and power gain you need to rebuild the engine to optimize propane characteristics. Higher compression and changes in valve timing are two examples.
Propane is a very 'light' fuel, with few atomic bonds, so Brown's Gas won't give you much gain either, say about 5%. Ditto with water injection; although both will help more with higher compression.
