In regards to the propane question - Propane is a catalist for diesel fuel. Your typical diesel engine only burns at about 75% efficiency. By adding propane to the mix, you get closer to 95% efficiency. More efficiency means more power. It'll work on any diesel engine, and won't blow up any GOOD diesel engine.

None of the Big 3 make their own diesels; Ford gets theirs from International Harvester (Powerstroke), Dodge gets theirs from Cummins (since around 1981; before that they used Mitsubishi), and Chevy gets their new diesels from Isuzu (Duramax). The only Chevy diesels to avoid were the converted 350 gas engine ones that found their way into the Caddys and El Caminos in the 80's. Up until a year or two ago, the trucks all got Detroit Diesel engines, which weren't particularly powerful, but weren't nearly as bad as the converted 350s. The new Duramax is a SWEET diesel, especially since it comes hooked up to the Allison 5 speed auto or NV5600 6 speed manual.darwood said:So don't try this on a Chevy diesel engine?jbhebert said:
Apparently there are reasons they don't make diesels anymore.
