    Thought about LPG, neutron? Increases the efficiency of the diesel up from ~80% to nearly 98%. You can set it up either to increase fuel economy, or for extra power. Basically the LPG is used as a cataylst to burn the diesel more efficiently.

    yeah, sort of been there already.... Let's just say it had some draw backs. The methanol does the same job as LPG, burns faster and hotter than diesel. Methanol mixed with water though is not technically flamable and much easier to work with. It's also cheaper now I have a good supplier. Alot of the power gain from LPG comes from the fact that is it cold like NOS. You can use LPG and NOS together on both petrols and diesels. I've tried four different fuels to run the beast now and that obviously doesn't include NOS as that isn't a fuel. I think I have found a good balance now, just a few little tweeks and I'll leave it be.
