Default looking for imput on a project im working on. Propane converstion on a S4

Im looking into buying a S4. But im also talking with a company that makes propane conversion kits for many different cars. The only catch is that all the cars they make them for are N/A cars not turbos. I talked to the owner of the company and he says that the problem there having is that there kit requires injecting vapor and that the pressurized air pushes the gas back to the regulator. anyone have any input on a solution?

Agreed - in the US, it's a common Diesel supplement....

Don't bother, with your driving record you'll blow up the propane tank in no time ;-)

Default My grandfather imported a Morgan about 15 years ago and to pass regs he converted to propane.

It's fine, it runs ok (it's an NA engine), but finding a fill-up station with propane can be a bit of a bear.

Default why is the S4 not the car to do it in? Propane is 110 octain.... and the vapor is cold. -20 degrees.

I cant think of anything beter to put it in....
