Default Propane/diesel?

The goal of these systems is similar to Nitrous Oxide augmentation of
Gasoline engines: boosting power beyond normal output levels.

As with other augmentation approaches - "chipping", reprogramming, etc. -
one must be cautious lest one "blow" the engine.

Except that Nitrous Oxide adds oxidizer (free oxygen) to the engine. The
propane thing adds a different fuel (hydrocarbon). It is cleaner because
the ratio of hydrogen to carbon is higher. Not sure why it would be more
powerful.


Question: would you pay the money to have this done to your vehicle? A '06
Dodge 2500 Cummins Turbo with 45k miles.
