I'm an old RV guy, been in the business for over 25 years. You can mix
propane and gas very easily. What you do is run a hose from a propane
tank and "T" it to any vacuum line. You will have to experiment with the
size orifice to restrict the amount of propane entering into the system,
(probably the size of a sewing needle). BTW, propane has more BTU's
volume than gasoline so it will give you more power and probably higher
octane.
