    Diesel Engines PROPANE injection

    I know it's not an alternative, but adding LPG/Propane to your system will enhance power and mileage, and reduce your emissions. I have fitted 5 landrovers with it, and the results are amazing. Loads of power, and a lot better return on fuel. When I went down to the LRO show, I did 190 miles...
