propane horror stories?

i've heard all the benefits of propane injection from everyone.
i was wondering if anyone had any horror stories??
like the time the propane made my motor go...
or that time flames were shooting out of the exhaust..


are there any stories like this?
i'm starting to like the thought of putting a propane kit on my truck, but i'd like to be aware of anything that might go wrong.

Re: propane horror stories?

AS long as your propane is regulated correctly and you are not abusing it, propane will not hurt anything. You can tell when you have too much, the truck will start knocking. Back it off and run it again. Once you have propane dialed it, man, what a difference. Great power and a little added fuel effieciency. It is almost like adding a second turbo. Scotty
