I've heard that diesel fuel injectors are designed to
use the fuel as a lubricant, run gasoline (or propane)
thru them and they'll gall.

There was a time, and perhaps some still do, when NOX
injection kits used propane as the supplemental fuel,
high octane (110?), same plumbing as NOX, etc. You
might do some investigation into what's available
here, doubtful NOX solenoids are designed to cycle on
& off like a fuel injector, you might be able to
"push the envelope" but that's unlikely to be
successful.

Summit is/was having a close-out on ADS chips, I noted
that they had chips for '91(?) Chevy PU's, one for
gas, one for propane, thought it would be interesting
to get one of each and compare them to see what the
differences where, but I never did.

Personally, I'd be more interested in taking advantage
of that high octane w/ turbocharging rather than
converting to FI.  Hmmm...hafta give that some more
thought...

HTH,
