It's not a conversion - it's an additional fuel, added directly to the air intake. It fools the O2 sensor into thinking there's more fuel (edit: Well, more GAS than there actually is, it equates to roughly the same amount of fuel to avoid knocking) going into the engine than there actually is, so the computer backs off on the injectors. According to the source, a single 20 lb tank should last approximately 400 miles, adding an average of 6 mpg to any car installed. |
You are not adding any fuel economy to your vehicle.
Just burning propane in place of gasoline.
Which in most places propane is more expensive than gasoline.
