A few years ago Truck Trend did and install and testing of a propane injection system for a 12V Dodge 2500 with 5.9 Cummins.
I can't find my copy of that month's Truck Trend, and I need to know name of the mfgr. as I'd like to look into the possiblity of running the same unit on my rig.
Thanks

I don't know about that Dodge truck install, but i have seen a lot of news lately about a new Roush propane F-150. The claim is that it has the same horsepower and torque as a regular gas pickup. ![]() I think in the past there has been a loss when using propane ![]() so that is pretty cool if they really did figure that out.
I read about this truck from a news article and saw more at www.propanetruck.us

Don't know the issue. It has been a couple if not 3 years ago.
Propane actually increases HP on diesels and improves fuel efficiency because it acts as a catalyst for diesel fuel. The Dodge in the article went from and average of 15 mpg to 27 on the highway and had a substantial increase in HP and torque. I just need the name of the manufacture of the propane system.
Thanks

Description
Bully Dog Technologies has developed the premier system that increases horsepower, torque and diesel mileage! When propane is used properly, it will keep your engine cleaner with less carbon buildup and cleaner oil. Propane is a high-octane fuel and burns slower and longer therefore, propane will help diesel burn more thoroughly, increasing power and torque. With propane your engine should last longer, get better fuel economy and have significantly more power. By fumigating the intake air with propane, there are dramatic increases in power, torque and diesel mileage. By using a dual stage regulator and drawing vapor from the tank, this system creates one of the most user friendly, maintenance free systems available. With this system, exhaust temperatures are only slightly increased and in many cases decreased. This system can be adapted on any turbocharged diesel and is easily transferred from vehicle to vehicle. The Propane Kit does not include the tank.
