hidden_hunter Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I'm assuming these were an after market fit and not a dealer option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Shaw Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 A local guy in our HCCA club has a 1912 Buick roadster he set up to run on propane... He toured with it once, but I have not seen it on the road again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Dave Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Go ahead, Get it. You will be the only one around with one.... Well,... According to Mark, almost the only one. An old friend of mine experimented with running propane back in the 70's during the energy crunch. He said that the engine would "flood" faster than with gasoline if the setting was a little rich. I'm game if propane becomes free. :cool: Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
