That's impressive! A ten year old junk yard engine that runs that well is a great find. Since I'm new to propane engines, I don't know how much to credit the propane for the performance. Near the end, it looked like you started getting water in it; with the stall (water drowned). Also, I like how quickly it restarted. I was actually sold when I went to your website, but after surfing here from it it'snow a must have. I'll have one on my cammed 350 chevy...seriously.
awesome! love the taking it to extreme demo that's my kinda shit, only thing missing is running on its side or with the water pump pointing straight up. nice video!!
i took my 2010 dodge ram with a quick made pvc snorkal in the deep end last week engine was completely swamped and i didnt have any issues ...no check engine lights or electrical problems ....
Amazing video!! How much Propane does is burn compared to regular Gasoline? Also, have you ever Dyno'd any engines to check the power output for Propane vs. Gasoline? Thanks, and again, great video and workmanship! Awesome Toyota buggy too!!
so kick ass You must really had a good seal on the points dizzy to do that , what did you use ? also was it a standard fire order or the 351 w ? just so cool only a small Flock ford by the timing cover id say a 83 and by the oil pan id say a car , that was so cool keep up the good work , I am looking forward to somthing of that effect for my fords I have a msd box and distributer and i go off road and it stalls in deep water any ideas on sealin it up?
Impressive ,never seen an engine fully submerged before ! Dont you have to watch out for the HT voltage from the coil ? I heard they can put out 20,000 volts ! ?
Who needs a radiator if you drive under water! I have one of your kits in a box that came with a CJ8 I bought several months back. I'm gonna have to get that sucker on there when I start working on the motor.
im very interested in the 22r propane kit... i just need a BIG tank to mount under the pickup so i don't have to refuel very often... i think i need 50-60 gallons on board and can't have it in the bed... one of these days....
just curious but what does lowering the engine into water have to do with propane?? if you ran compressed air out of that tank and gasoline through the carb it would do the exact same things.. i get your point about using propane, but really what is this video proving?? please explain..
Also, just a point of contention... Carbureted engines do not function correctly at extreme angles or steep incline/decline angles, also extreme jarring or sudden quick changes cause stalling due to air overtaking the fuel intakes on the carb. This system makes sense because of the advantages of propane being pressurized making stalling less likely. The water proofing is just a side benefit, and while it is possible to waterproof a gas system, there are far more benefits in a propane system. IMO
meaning rpms which creats way more heat in a propane engine than a gasoline engine tyhats why if u want to flog it u need sodium exaust valves and molly top rings
there's gotta a be a cheaper way to make a jacuzzi!! But seriously, I have a question...what does 40 gallons of propane equate to in gallons of gasoline?
fuel air mixer (as a mixer) I wonder what type of mixer you used? I have a problem I want to consult you guys ... my Pontiac car has the 455 engine, and on this engine, there is a 4-barrel Rochester QuadraJet carburetor. What should be the most suitable Fuel / Air Mixer I will use under these conditions? Some people have recommended the IMPCO-425 Fuel Mixer, but I never üşen before, And so I don’t know which type fuel mixer will be the best choice for my Car... There is so much dirty information on the internet, that you cannot be fully confident about what is right fuel mixer.. As people who know this job very well,, •what would be the best mixer for my Engine and Carburetor combination, would you please help me by writing here for me?? •and where can I buy this complete mixer kit?? Thanks lot..
you can do this with any typical gas setup car or truck. as long as you have a snorkel and you seal and port your distributor, the same way you did here. i love the idea of running propane, but you should probably focus more on the facts of your car/truck running cleaner, hotter and putting out more hp and torque and the fact that you can run engines thought to be long gone, almost as if they are brand new.
Im laughing because this whole entire video makes no sense at all! Propane carburetors have been around since the 1950s, we still use them today. the only thing I see this being a test of is how good his spark plug wires and distributor cap seals
By energy content? About 36 gallons of gasoline is equivalent to 40 gallons of propane. Of course, propane is a VERY high octane fuel and burns more fully, so it's a bit of a wash.
I would like to get in touch with you by phone and or email for a project I would like to attempt to get either a moped running on propane or a vanguard v twin engine I plan to put in a cushman truckster. The moped I'm rebuilding from the ground up with a 73cc big bore kit. Its just an extra mode of transportation/ fun little project for me. So I thought I could propane it just for fun, and for a conversation starter.
It lets people see and hear the engine run as well as prove my claims about it bieng able to run underwater. A fuel injected setup can't do this and I'm not trying to compare to a carburetor as my customers already have their reasons for wanting to get away from a carb.
You're not actually suggesting that a fuel injected engine can't run under water. Of course they can...and do, all the time. You did do a good job of waterproofing that distributor, but aside from that...I see nothing new here.
fuel injection works fine under water provided you seal the electronics well enough. That said i'd take propane over gasoline for an offroader anyways.
Lots of wire wheeling off thick crud followed by a can of spray paint, mostly still over thick grease. I just wanted it to look a little better. Thanks for watching. I hope You all realise this is part demonstration and part entertainment.
Just how does this prove anything in terms of propane fuel systems over gasoline or diesel fuel? I guess you've never seen gasoline or diesel fueled vehicles driven UNDER WATER with air/exhaust/ignition venting above water just as you've done here. It's a cool enough video, but it doesn't prove anything.
1- I don't buy that is a junkyard motor, never seen one that clean from a junkyard. 2-WTF does this prove? Gas motors run all the time underwater, just do waterproofing. 3-Battery in the water? Scratching my head... I can't come up with any logical reason. This video needs to be on the short bus.
Yes, junk yard motor. I painted it. $80 Read one of my comments if you can. Go ahead and show me your video running underwater. Lots of guys like the video because they have common sense and can see that its a simple setup. Simpler than you!
Cary Gleason right too name calling. A sure sign of intellect or lack there of. Running this engine under water proves nothing. Stick to the positives of propane, cleaner burning higher octane allowing more compression and more power. Noooo... "Lookie, I made a thing work in water... let's put the battery in water too... ahhh hielckk!" - Cary Gleason

My 351w has bin running on Propane for 11 years in my Rock buggy mud toy . Bin up side down 20 or so time's and under water. Still runs great .
well that's one way to keep your ford cool!
why the hell put the battery in the water ?

i like how it says old 302 it looks pretty new
awesome! love the taking it to extreme demo that's my kinda shit, only thing missing is running on its side or with the water pump pointing straight up. nice video!!
Dude I want that winch hoist rig....love the propane kit too
That’s badass! I have a dual fuel setup. Having issues getting it to idle on propane though
i took my 2010 dodge ram with a quick made pvc snorkal in the deep end last week engine was completely swamped and i didnt have any issues ...no check engine lights or electrical problems ....
I couldn't help from laughing, shocked I guess. Nice demo.
I LOVE PROPANE IM RUNING IN MY RANGER I LOVE IT!!!!GREAT VID!!
Amazing video!! How much Propane does is burn compared to regular Gasoline? Also, have you ever Dyno'd any engines to check the power output for Propane vs. Gasoline? Thanks, and again, great video and workmanship! Awesome Toyota buggy too!!
so kick ass You must really had a good seal on the points dizzy to do that , what did you use ? also was it a standard fire order or the 351 w ?
just so cool only a small Flock ford by the timing cover id say a 83 and by the oil pan id say a car , that was so cool keep up the good work , I am looking forward to somthing of that effect for my fords I have a msd box and distributer and i go off road and it stalls in deep water any ideas on sealin it up?
Impressive ,never seen an engine fully submerged before !
Dont you have to watch out for the HT voltage from the coil ?
I heard they can put out 20,000 volts ! ?
is that a green ford ranger in the background with fiberglass fenders? looks like a cool truck anyways - where did you get those body panels?
Can't wait to try a dual fuel one on a 300 I6.
Who needs a radiator if you drive under water! I have one of your kits in a box that came with a CJ8 I bought several months back. I'm gonna have to get that sucker on there when I start working on the motor.

how thick is the air filter on the duel fuel conversion kit i have a 72 vette with a 350 stock engine and there isnt much room under the hood
Awesome
Is that a cold start? Need a choke for the set up?
where can i get a plastic bottle like that one??
just curious but what does lowering the engine into water have to do with propane?? if you ran compressed air out of that tank and gasoline through the carb it would do the exact same things.. i get your point about using propane, but really what is this video proving?? please explain..
wow how can I do this conversion

I'm sold! Sign me up for a BBC kit! Just what I need!
Got water cooling?
meaning rpms which creats way more heat in a propane engine than a gasoline engine tyhats why if u want to flog it u need sodium exaust valves and molly top rings
there's gotta a be a cheaper way to make a jacuzzi!! But seriously, I have a question...what does 40 gallons of propane equate to in gallons of gasoline?
now hang it at 90 degrees straight up and see how long it runs :)
Seriously, I would like to know more about a kit for a 2.5 TJ.
Could you run Natural gas with this kit?
Could I run that kit with turbo or supercharger?

wow I got to see this where can I get free copy??
Thats cool, how did you keep the distributor dry?
That's exactly what I thought
By energy content? About 36 gallons of gasoline is equivalent to 40 gallons of propane.
Of course, propane is a VERY high octane fuel and burns more fully, so it's a bit of a wash.

Engine from hell don't want to stop
I'm sorry, why can't fuel injection run underwater? Or a carb for that matter if done right.
Electrical
It lets people see and hear the engine run as well as prove my claims about it bieng able to run underwater. A fuel injected setup can't do this and I'm not trying to compare to a carburetor as my customers already have their reasons for wanting to get away from a carb.
cool
Do you lose/gain horepower or torque with propane?
thebeholder19 I think for the most part its almost the same
now thats what id call water cooled
You're not actually suggesting that a fuel injected engine can't run under water. Of course they can...and do, all the time. You did do a good job of waterproofing that distributor, but aside from that...I see nothing new here.
fuel injection works fine under water provided you seal the electronics well enough. That said i'd take propane over gasoline for an offroader anyways.
now thats a marine engine. great for boating.
and you dont have a tank breather drinking the water if it where the whole car
Why can propane do this but not regular gasoline?
gasoline can lol!
gas canon smart guy if willful up with water frome the intake where propane will still combust in water
Dan Ivanov
It can be done with gasoline or diesel. During WWII there were jeeps and light trucks modified to drive under water.
Lots of wire wheeling off thick crud followed by a can of spray paint, mostly still over thick grease. I just wanted it to look a little better. Thanks for watching. I hope You all realise this is part demonstration and part entertainment.
you should use 8 red sparkplug covers, turn them 90 degrees.. car goes much faster
The 20 people who thumbs downed this video are dead inside.
holy fuck thats crazy now i need to go look at a toyota vid
Why run propane? What’s the benefit???
it runs clean so if your engine dose get water In it you won't have even half as Manny problems as gas or diesel its also cheaper
Watch that no water penetrated your electrical connectors, they may start to corrode.
Just how does this prove anything in terms of propane fuel systems over gasoline or diesel fuel?
I guess you've never seen gasoline or diesel fueled vehicles driven UNDER WATER with air/exhaust/ignition venting above water just as you've done here.
It's a cool enough video, but it doesn't prove anything.
lol
Ford built tough.. of course the chevy guys hate
There is an easier way to flush an engine.
1- I don't buy that is a junkyard motor, never seen one that clean from a junkyard.
2-WTF does this prove? Gas motors run all the time underwater, just do waterproofing.

You dont like it move on . dumbass
Soo, Immature. Good luck in life kid. You're going to need it with that attitude.
Doing well. You? Maybe I should quit feeding the trolls
What the fuck was the point of this?
ford heads would crack more often .... if they could make more power
