Thanks and at what ratio of injection into the fuel injection??

I looked into the idea of Propane injection/additive and as a business at that time promoting and selling this setup, the use of propane was require to by it at a automotive fueling station at the much higher costs per gallon, and if I remember correctly it was fed in at a 20% rate giving a 20% improvement in MPG.

Sadly it was a net lost, yes you could save 20% in gasoline costs only to spend it on the propane and that worked out as a zero savings, LESS the cost of the injection set up and labor installing it etc.

Now as a non-business person, I could get away with using BBQ Propane and it would cost about 50% the automotive fuel...

Still a 10% saving will take a long time paying off all the costs...

I just looked at the cost of methanol and it is around $30.00 per gallon...

I think it will not be all that cost wise....
