How Does Propane Work for Cars?

• Propane works very similar to regular gasoline. There has to be a fuel-air mixture, and it has to be injected into a sequentially timed motor for it to burn efficiently and clean. The process is very much the same as gasoline and diesel, but the parts are going to be different, as it has to be able to handle injecting a gas and not a liquid into the motor.
  
  

How Does a Car Burn Propane?

• The propane starts in a sealed tank where it is converted to gas from a liquid. The gas is then sent through the lines to a fuel-air mixer near the combustion chamber. As soon as the fuel-air is properly mixed, it is then sent to the fuel injectors as it is sequentially sprayed into the motor for maximum power and efficiency.As it is a gas, it burns a lot cleaner than regular liquid gasoline.The effects on the atmosphere is a cleaner burning fuel that doesn't harm the ozone layer.
  
  

Maintennance on a Propane Motor

• Propane doesn't burn like gasoline, so there is no carbon monoxide from the exhaust and the fuel burns so clean that there are no deposits or residue in the combustion chamber. The clean-burning fuel keeps your engine oil cleaner for longer. Whereas you would get your gasoline-powered car's oil changed at 3,000-mile intervals, you would only need to change the oil in a propane car at every 10,000 miles. The only reason is the propane makes the oil more viscous than in a regular gas-burning car.
