as far as seting up the propane system...i dont have any hands on experience with it. ive been reading some articles about it and have decided that the best way for me to install it is to buy the bullydog kit and go by the instructions, not cause im scared but more because it would be so much easier to have them supply everything and know that what im putting on wont scatter my motor all over the road.
dont get me wrong though, you can still pop a motor with the bolt on kit, however i dont have to worry cause im gonna set mine up to just trickle propane into the motor. its hard for me to refill bottles back home and not only that but this truck is not a race truck nor is it an experiment. i just want something to drive to work that cost very little to fill up and i dont want the thing to coke up every other tank.
and i think the best way to do that is by
1. blending the fuel, with kero not #2- thins it alot better plus it helps it burn cleaner, dont worry about the lubricity of kero, remember the other part of the blend is oil. the naysayers say that #2 has better lubricity then WMO but if you look at the charts they provide real close you can see that the wmo in small amounts actually raises the lubricity of the fuel.
2. then filtering with a centrifuge until blue in the face
3. get the water out, i belive boiling is the only way to get water out of oil that was engineered to keep water suspended inorder to keep the engines oil pump from pumping straight water if the water was to settle out of the oil.
i can explain this more if you would like
4. water injection to clean combustion chambers
5. if i was pumpin a real thick mix of WMO i would do the JRED pump
done all of those but to make the system perfect i think i should add
1. propane to help complete the burn of the stuborn WMO(bullydog kit)
2. heat fuel lines
3.im not gonna do it but i would recomend a second tank for starting on D#2
and switching over when engine is warm
understand that most injection pumps that fail from wmo is not because of the wmo but because the lift pump can keep up with the demand of the IP thus the IP runs out of fuel and fuel is what lubes the IP.
and after that the IP and injectors fail because the user was doin somthin silly by filtering with a t-shirt
this takes longer to kill the system but not supplyin the IP with required amount of fuel will have you on the side of the road pretty soon. a 80%wmo20%#2 is a pretty thick mixture for an electric lift pump. however if you used kero instead of #2 that would help.
