[Vwdiesel] Diesel working on liquid propane

[Bryan Belman]

Seems like it would be good to use a little of this all the time and a bit more 
when under big tow load or pulling a big hill.

You just drill a hose in the IM and put a 1/8 hose on there to some regulation 
device that lets a controlled amount in when needed?
it it that easy?

Yes, similar effect, but there is a limit to how much diesel you can dump in 
there before 

it stops burning completely and makes so much soot that it clogs up the 
combustion chamber 

and exhaust valves.  So adding a cleaner burning fuel like propane lets you get 
closer to 

fully using up the oxygen in the cylinder w/o the adverse affects of soot 
formation.
