has anyone ever used propain as a fuel source for our cbr's?

 

Why would you.

 

no



just posted here because I couldn't post on another msg this site is a pain right now to post on........

 

You'd need special inlets and metering equipment.
Seen on cars, never on ANY bike, let alone a CBR1KF.
+1......... why would you want to..............?
(unless you own a propane distributorship)

 

well 1 reason too would be that fuel here is £1.14 a liter as opposed to 53.2p for LPG and of course LPG has a much higher RON rating than available here

 

BUT wouldn't be viable I am afraid - I have given it a passing thought - you need to retain a regular petrol tank as your vehicle would need to start on petrol for at least 5 secs depending on the temperature it could be as long as 5 minutes before it would switch to LPG

 

The.n of course you wo.uld ne.e.d to find a place for the LPG tank - so unless your going to permanently install a set of givis and devote the.m to fuel stora.ge (Aft.e.r h.avi.ng had cu.stom tanks made to fit the.m of course)

 

I run a factory converted LPG Astra here in the UK and when I lived in OZ had a V8 Discovery on LPG and am very fond of the cost saving

 

Plenty of room on cars for gas regulators and all the extra kit, Harry T.......
Imagine the problem if you "ran out of gas " he he
A CBR with no fuel tank'd look a bit odd - picture a fat lady with no knockers......hmmmmmm[&:]

Compressed gas between the legs.[:-] interesting.
