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? :)
