Propane on Fuel Injected Cars

[James Boughton]

Chrysler also had a 3.3L v-6 FFV package for several years.  This was
electronic port fuel injection for gasoline to 85% methanol.

Well, since IMPCO is technically a carburation system I would have to
call it that.  

At this time the 318 V8 is Chrysler's only alternative fuels engine, as
it has been for many years, and is expected to be up until 2003 (I
think) when it will be phased out.  The only good thing is that the alt
fuels. package does offer hardened valve seats and guides, which is
advantages for gaseous fuels like propane and CNG.

I actually got a chance to see the 2.2 FWD vehicle.  Again, it was an
Impco type system, but it didn't last very long.  Actaully, none of
their carburated vehicles did.
