[Amc-list] LPG 258

[Brien Tourville <hh7x@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The trend is now toward Injecting Liquid LPG rather than Injecting 
Gaseous LPG.

Liquid Injection is claimed to bring the mileage  difference between 
Gasoline & LPG
down to roughly 10%..

Australia went from Natural Gas to LPG for their national transport fuels &
FORD is producing dedicated vehicles for this market.

The push stateside here to move to Natural Gas for Trucking & Government
Fleet Vehicles [Pickens Plan]  since we have a wealth of Natural Gas 
reserves and,
I've seen my first TV ad for using LPG for car fueling this past week, 
has support
with the Democrats & Indies.

LPG is a by product of processing Natural Gas - so it would follow
that if a mandate to convert Trucking to NG does come down from
Washington, the refiners will support LPG for automobiles - maybe.

Conversions to EFI cars would require new injectors , a fuel tank with
specialized pressure valves at the tank for safety & a recycling
style return lines set up with a stand alone LPG to H2O  LPG inter 
cooler to keep it liquid.

Then add a small computer to handle the System Purge, pumping
LPG thru the circuit  prior to start up - & a value tweak to the stock
ECM & you're good to go.

If the new incoming Administration offers incentives for converting
to LPG / NG , and can twist the Gas Station Owners collective to provide LPG
pumps next to the Gasoline as some stations do now - I'd wager
this then is where we're headed for vehicle fueling - in the not too 
distant Future.

As to Fuel Cells:

The first functioning Fuel Cell that GE originally had a contract to
market ran on Natural Gas.

Within the first month after announcing it's success, Natural Gas
prices jumped and haven't returned since, making the Natural Gas
Fuel Cell not competitive against then prevailing Electrical Rates
which is not the case today.

The existence of NG powered Fuel Cells adds weight to the push
to NG / Hybrid Electric transportation power.

Looking ahead at the first crop of Hybrid GM / Chrysler vehicles
that are in the pipes, they're using 1,000cc piston engines to drive
the onboard Generators to resupply the Lithium Ion Batteries.

NG can be used to power the motor - but - NG handling / fueling
is not as easy as LPG nor are the Fuel Tanks as less demanding
since NG requires crazy pressure levels - which is why Pickens
did not push NG for other than Heavy Trucking & Fleet.

Most Fleet run LPG anyway -


Having viewed these last rounds of Debates, I see the Obama
ticket taking Washington, unless of course we have rampant
voting machine 'faults' - as DieBold designed them to be
hacked under 1 minute without any trace of being hacked.

Alternative Fuels will then receive the big push forward
favoring NG / LPG.

If McCain takes Washington,.... I hear Canada is nice along their
Coastal region..
