propane conversion

[pulso57]

Anyone needing help in going green for there Bradley,
No more fumes,dirty oil and cold start problem with your Solex and Weber.
I'm available with the proper way to do it.

Jerry, I am using a type 3 fuel injected engine. The fuel injection system has been removed.
I have a new LPG regular to use. A new LPG line runs from the front to the engine compartment through the tunnel. Can you tell what size the mixture orpheus needs to be for the injection of LPG to throttle body assm?

I have thought about making this conversion (especially before getting my SB100 smog exemption), but still might consider it in the future. One thing I was wondering about was the range. If I remember right to get similar range the volume of the propane tank must be quite a bit larger than that of the equivalent gas tank. Do you put the propane tank in the same location as the gas tank? Do you install additional tanks?

Thanks in advance for addressing my questions.
Sincerely,

Wyn,
your venturi air passage needs to be no smaller than 32 mm
That would be right at the throttle body.
As to the regulator,there are many types but i like Impco products.
Keep in mind Wyn that the key to lpg to work correctly is, the gas demand feedback from your engine vaccum to the regulator,with that said you need the right size hose,no smaller than 1/2 inch and keep it as short as possible. Don't forget regulator need heat to vaporize',unless you purchase an expensive air unit.

CENTRAL,
MPG difference is about only 2% but yes per volume you would need a bigger tank,i wouldn't go bigger than 12gallons,as you know propane is about 4.2 lbs per pound.
The Bradly as a nice shelf, right on top rear of the trans,perfect spot close to the engine.
You can make a cut out into the fiberglass and create a cradle to house the tank.

Thanks guys

One more thing,

As you know BBQ tanks are not DOT approved road use tank but there very inexpensive easy to fill and you don't have to pay the road use tax.

I know' the DOT tanks run liquid propane but I'm able to run my Bradley with Vapor, up to 40HP.
Not to bad for a BBQ tank.
My set up is good, up to around 65hp.

If you run out of propane,switch to gasoline but my set up is not on the fly, but manual.
shut off the propane and turn on the gasoline line.
You could set it up with electic solenoid but i like it simple and safe.

Hope this helps

Jerry That is pretty close to what I have. The regulator is an Impco. I figured to mount the regulator on top of the throttle body assm. That is setup with a ½ hose.
The LPG is only to be used to check out the engine and setup the regulator, then I’ll pull the tank and stick in 3 hydrogen generators and run the car on the hydrogen. Switch back to LPG in the winter time.

Good morning WYN,
what model regulator do you have, i can give you the specs on it and see if it can handle your
type 3 engine.

HHO or pure hydrogen?

Also i have been working with hydrogen generators for 5 years, i concluded with my experiments that you would need approx 12 liters per minute of gas flow to power a 4 cylinder engine.That is a lot of HHO or Hydogen per say.

The other problem i see is on accelaration, vaccum reduces momenteraly and the volume of Hydrogen is altered,this may cause a flaskback ,not good.Flashback arestors nor check valves are fast enought for the flame front speed.

Today wet cell nor dry cell cannot deliver such volume, unless you gang up a multitude of generators.
For that many you would need to run a separate electic alternator/generator to supply that much amperage/current.

if you set up for propane is succesfull it will work as good for Hydrogen, if volume can be supplied.

I like the way you think.
Thanks
Jerry

I have welded up a saddle frame to mount on the T3 fan assm. The frame will hold a 60s chrysler alternator modifyed to produce 0 to 120 volts for the hydrogen generators, . With using system pressure to regulate voltage needed for the 3 hydrogen generators.
Also a AC pump is mounted on frrame
