  While I was testing, I tried cranking the propane way up.  I had enough 
going 
in that I could let off the throttle and maintain speed.  I could turn it 
up more 
and crank out black smoke.  There wasn't much diesel going in at that 
point.  
Made me think the propane could be made to burn just as black as diesel, or 

close anyway...
