any combination can be made to work fine. too much drugs will ruin things quickly. now when you start making cocktails it gets even more tricky.

depending on how much you run the propane may counter the cooling effect of the W/M injection and your EGT may go back up.

i would say if you are going to run both then turn them back about half way then work up from there, or at least start small on the propane. i have read many people running large amounts of propane and it working fine, others are breaking stuff and burning things up. more people seem to have good luck on the W/M injection. few run both.

your cummins is a stout engine but i wouldn't push your luck

see what others say

there are levels that are safe and levels that are not.

i would set up the W/M injection and then slowly add the propane while watching the exhaust temp.

i dont run propane so i would wait for more replies first

for mileage it is a fuel replacement. what you end up doing is replacing diesel for propane. the btu's for diesel is somewhere around 140,000 and propane 91,500. you end up using more propane per mile but if you can find it much cheaper then diesel then you come out ahead. the more propane you inject the less diesel you will use and vise versa while cruising.
