See the white propane tank on the rear of my 1480 ? That's for the propane injected diesel engine. When the propane injector comes on, a guesstimated 50 extra HP are available, diesel smoke is gone, diesel rattle is gone, it sounds like a gasser.
With propane / diesel injection, the coolant temp goes down and you use less total gallons propane / diesel than when on diesel alone. I have mine set to burn about 25% propane.
And yes, that is one of THOSE AF combine rear axles. :-(

Red Rooster, the company that years ago made my simple old mechanical propane injector, now makes a computerized propane injection system that claims impressive MPG gains in electronic diesel engines.
