Propane is popular in Holland and the conversions are to dual fuel not just
propane
the engine is warned up and then it transitions to propane
propane does have its down sides the biggest is no inside storage next is
power third is fuel distribution. The sludge that builds up behind the
intake valve on propane is so soft and gummy
it has to be burned off with a torch
propane also comes in different grades depending on the use
I am still building Zamboni engine mostly propane for ice rinks
In the air-cooled engine I use custom made exhaust seats at $10 each my cost
42% nichel non hardened the heat treated seats dont hold up.

I would google Holland propane conversions
