[QUOTE="cowadle, post: 3577088, member: 7203"] nope not exactly...propane had no lead in it so the soft valve seats in the head would peen out over time. the answer was hardened valve seats. unleaded gas did the same thing. propane has less btu than gasoline so for the same engine you lost a little power also and the old heat exchanger systems that just used the carb as a throttle body wasn't exactly perfect but it worked good enough. then came the tbi fuel systems and propane injectors and now things in the propane world are really pretty good.
