Propane Injection in Diesel Engines?
Posted: April 14th, 2019, 9:02 pm
Hi all,
While I was looking for information on propane/butane cooking equipment I came across an article I found very interesting.
It was an American web site, mainly for trucks, selling a propane gas injection system for diesel engines. They claimed that the addition of propane into the induction system not only gave up to 20% more horsepower and torque but increased the mpg as well.

Further investigation showed that there were other benefits as well. Reduced CO2 emissions, a 50 % reduction in Nitrous Oxide particles as well.
One example showed a Ford 350 going from 16mpg to 25mpg and even with the cost of the propane added on there was still a saving $0.07 a gallon.
I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience of these systems?
The cheapest system I could find was about £700 for the kit without an onboard gas tank.
