  Great to hear!  The dabbling I did with some propane one day didn't impress
me quite as much. Of course I'm darm picky some times!  I didn't get the
performance I was hoping to see.  It was worthwhile but just not what I was
hoping for.  The drivability was impressive though!  As you said, it drove
like
a gas car as far as engine acceleration.  The best way I could describe it
was as if you removed a hundred or so pounds from the flywheel.  It didn't
make the car seem to go a lot faster or quicker but the engine just felt
so much more free.  Of course I was only running up and down a back
country road a few times as a quickie "does it work" test.  I tried it on
the NA Rabbit another day but I checked and the bottle was empty.
Haven't gotten back to trying it again.
  As is, I have a blown head gasket on the Rabbit AGAIN!  :(  Looks like
when my cooling system decided to put leaking in to high gear last month
(less than a year after going through the whole system!) I lost the head
gasket due to the low coolant.  The car still runs GREAT but instead of
my rock steady stream of coolant flowing into the reservoir, I get about
half bubbles.  :(  Guess It's time to put the turbo on since I'll have the
head off, makes it easier to install.  :)
  Gary, did you ever find that other bolt?  :)
