Project AE92 C3H8 SC.

[rezzle]

Just so everyone knows my propane conversion project is now officially underway.

I found a used propane system including carb, cut-off, regulator, hoses, and a 300 litre tank for 125 bucks cdn.

Sure is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new ECU and injectors.

I can use everything and that includes everything but the tank. (like 300 litres duh no shit) I'll see if I can't sell the tank or trade it in to a propane shop for one that actually fits my car. If luck has it i should make money on the deal.

My dad is driving out to Langdon AB ( for those who know where that is ) on April 9 (thurs.) to pick the system up with his truck. When I wne there today to put a deposit down I looked at the stuff heh and the tank looks like it was 1/4 the size of our echo LOL.

how long can you go on a tank with propane?

obviously you'll need the size of the tank.

what size tank are you planning to get?

Oh my god! your car is going to smell like downtown Toronto where all the taxi cabs are!

well, what i learned from centennial.....
you need a license on how to fill propane tanks, and also it takes a long time to fill a propane tank...
the octane is lot higher, but i dun remember and dun wanna go thru my notes...

Don't need a licence to fill it the service sattion attendants do but you must have it inspected and approved.

Milage is almost identical to gasoline, only its 20 cents cheaper / litre here.

Octane in Aberta is between 102 and 104 depending on the time of year.

I got the parts through the " Calgary's bargain finder http://buysell.com/ " just need patience heh.

Fill time isn't that long my dad has made/owned no less than 4 trucks/vans that run on propane with 11.5:1 compression. They all went like hell and even a truck sized tank 80L or so filling was about same as gas.


I expect to be on the street in a month or two ( I work slow.)
