You can too, even cheaper (installation wise anyway) than biodiesel.
This dude is rockin’ faces coast to coast with his liquid propane powered VW Minibus! For $116 he’s used some 40 year old technology and reaped the benefits of a 15% reduction in fuel costs and a 70% reduction in toxic emissions. He provides a list of equipment needed as well as a high level set of installation instructions. This works similar to the greasecar, where the hardware for LP is installed in addition to your existing fuel system, making it possible to switch back and forth between LP and gas.
Pretty groovy. Yet another weapon in the alternative fuel arsenal!

Is that a propane tank mounted on the roof??? Scary!
MiniBus? You might as well call it a van (any bus owner knows what I mean) ;)
Haha – yeah, I can’t say I ever really understood the MiniBus thing. Oh well.

Wow – that’s pretty sweet. I’d be grinnin’ these days if I where you!
