| Holy crap you say...what is that mess? What better place to hide the vaporizer for my TS Performance propane injection system. Easy place to mount, somewhat hidden to the untrained eye, yet still gives easy access. (note the E series van style fuel drain cable) |
| The above picture show where the vaporized propane enters my intake tract. This is the plastic piece where the crankcase vent originally went. I modified my crankcase vent to keep my intercooler from getting a nice coat of oil vapors inside. What good is an intercooler that doesn't cool? Anyway, this was capped off for a long time because my propane hose originally was drilled into the factory airbox. After installing my AFE air intake I had to come up with another place to mount the hose. This was it, the hose diameter was perfect. I had to turn the plastic piece upside down, I also reversed it since there is a vent like piece inside that is directional flow. |
| This is my supply tank, a horizontal liquid feed forklift tank. I picked the tank up secondhand for around $15, it needed a coat of paint (Internation engine gray of course). I then pressure tested it with 300 PSI air and sprayed it with soapy water....oops got a leak...just the fill connection, we can fix that. Bought a new fill valve for $15, replaced, and once again pressure tested. No leaks, and after 1 week was still holding the pressure. I picked up the quick release brackets for about $45 and a quick release hose connection for another $12. I am quite happy with the propane system. Just cruising I get better mileage, and about 50 degree cooler exhaust temps. Under a full load (drag races, truck pulls, on the dyno) it addsa about 200 degrees!! |
