Clean fuel: propane is actually a filthy fuel - because the infrustructure is filthy - propane is stored in clay caverns & is delivered by means such as the Alaska pipe line - so here is the rub - the crap in propane is what fouls all this engineering.

CNG (nat gas) is transported in pipelines and stored in caverns, yet there's tens of thousands of vehicles running on it. Just wondering what your experience has been? Even gasoline vehicles need filters.

Question: How are you keeping the crud that is in propane out of the injector pintels ? This is why I would never use the argueably superior Japanese Kiehen injectors in competitor systems such as PRINS - and stick to the cheaper systems such as OMVL - because it is a matter of time before you get a bad tank of propane. This wasnt a problem with the old IMPCO systems because they were so easy to take apart & clean. Until there are stds. for propane in the US - you need cheap throw replcmnt prts

Lets see: FOr $10,000 you get:

toroidal tank - pump in tank - fuel rails & a propane tune - Novelty: toroidal tank argueably not crash certified, fuel pump in tnk just allows you to fill the tank to 100 % - instead of the customary 80%
