:)I work as the service manager in a propane shop in fort st john b.c.. I have seen propane powered lawn mowers you can propane almost anything. We are doing all the newer trucks on propane with no problems and more hp. octane of 110+ my 2005 gmc 5.3l loves it. we can also use it to boost diesels:d

The CR rep said 2 tanks are overkill and would last day and a 1/2 for Randy and for us a week. Nothing like a turbo by your nuts and sitting on 2 tanks of explosive.:p
Last time I looked, I had 40 liters of gas between my knees.LOL. Propane fire,gasoline fire,it's still a fire.

The performance trio of Val Simmons of Simmons Flexi-Skis, Steve Benson who is famous for ATS Turbo Systems and Hymark performance, along with extreme back country legend and turbo guru, Brad Story have teamed up to produce propane-powered turbo kits for performance-minded enthusiasts. Their new company is called HP3. They produce a conversion kit for the Yamaha Apex, with other models in the works.

Propane has an octane rating of 111 but burns as if it were 120. It enters the combustion chamber as a vapor, resulting in an extremely clean burn. With the HP3 propane system, jetting automatically adjusts to elevation changes. The twelve-gallon propane tanks provide 75-90 miles of hard riding at a price of about $2.00 per gallon.

This info was copied from HP3 web page.

No, because of the fuel and oil delivery system of the two strokes, along with other things.

buy her a battery powered vest, socks and seat to keep her warm. and if she still doesn't come alone well she could always use the batteries to power something else while your out sledding!!!
