propane question

with propane injection, can you use the BBQ grille propane tanks? why are the 10 gallon tanks like 300 bucks when you can get a BBQ one for exchange? also is it ok to run a Powershot 2000 kit with twins? anyone else have propane with twins?

Yes, you can use the BBQ tanks.

I'm not familiar with the Powershot (other than the Canon digicams, lol).

Propane with twins is a bad idea as the high cylinder pressure can cause the propane to ignite prematurely, leading to engine-damaging detonation.

could he use a setup that would only allow the propane to come on at low boost? say up to 30 lbs? right where a stock turbo would leave it at but he would gain the bottom end grunt he might be looking for with a twins setup just a thought as the first trace of caffeine hit the grey matter.....

thats a good idea, has anyone done that? I know the gasser guys use nitrous to spool up their big turbos quicker, then it shuts off at high boost, would that work for propane?
