LIQUID LPG INJECTION

[Steve Knickerbocker 512-356-3000 X6759]

          Hello all,
          
          I'd like to comment on the reports of a liquid LPG injection 
          system.  I think the reason this system is being developed is that 
          as the LPG goes from as liquid to a gaseous state it absorps heat 
          thereby cooling the intake charge considerably.  Now in a 
          turbocharged system you would have a built in intercooler without 
          the extra plumbing or pressure drop associated with most 
          intercoolers.  Furthermore, a denser and cooler intake charge will 
          provide more power, all other things being equal.  This may help 
          compensate for LPG's lower BTU content as compared to Gasoline in 
          a non LPG optimised engine.
