Subject:Interesting Diesel Power Boost?

For all you dieselburners, check out this month's Trailer Life magazine at your local bookstore.
There's an article on injecting regulated amounts
of propane into your intake manifold to increase
the efficiency of the combustion cycle. Supposedly
increases the burn percentage from 72-75% to 93-95%.
It's demo'ed on a Ford diesel truck, but it may be
of interest to those of us dissatisfied with a mere
48hp at the flywheel. Check it out!
