This works, but you have to be very careful or you will wind up with junk as "justapurrin" mentioned. The technical term for the is "fumigation" and you can find a lot of info on a google.com search if your interested. Don't know if anyone is selling kits anymore. I think one kit used to be called "Red Rooster" or maybe Torque Topper. I think use of turbochargers just about did away with propane injection systems.

bullydog makes propane injection kits. on forddiesel.com a guy made up his own system for very little money and it worked good by the sound of it.

John W. thanks for the link, an interesting read. I would like to try fumigation, but I guess if it was really safe someone would be making and promoting kits for farm machinery. I might try it on my Ford 3_4 ton, it just doesn't have enough poop to pull the camper into a head wind. Thanks, Neil
