How much is gas in your neighborhood?

I'd put the Hydrogen tank either where the Propane / Natural gas tanks go or behind the rear seat (tire well) better chance of the tank breaking off under the floor in either a front or rear-ender. Inside, the occupants would still have a chance of escape, if they didn't have CO2-filled airbags. Poof! Toasted!

The trouble with making it under the hood is that it's right there. Not much pressure, but highly volatile in an accident. No mercy. :confused:

 

Good old tap-water ain't so good

Colorado's Tap water producing Salmonella. Mine looks like fish scales and smells like a swamp:

I wonder if that helps make better fuel?

 

Mixing Fresh water and Salt water makes Kilowatts!

This is past the experimental stage, guys. It really works!

In both of the Rivieras I have a tank in the trunk, but for the Wagon I want another solution. (I don't want the tank to be visible from the outside of the Wagon!!)
The main problem with my clamshell model is the lack of space under the car due to the tailgate. The only other option I have is a wheel shaped tank standing there where now the spare tire is situated, but such a tank doesn't excist with 8mm lines (6mm only) A 455ci needs 8mm to get enough LPG. Altering a 6mm tank to 8mm will get me in trouble with DMV.
I will find a solution, but for now I'm spending my time on the 73 Riviera (trying to install a vinyl top myself.... keep your fingers crossed for me )

 

What milage do you get with the big Buicks on LPG. LPG is not available in many places in the US so that wouldn't be good for me. We can get propane but it's almost as much as gasoline here and it is not nearly as efficient as gasoline but plentiful.

Can you adapt a tank behind the rear wheel? Isn't there a lot of empty space there?

 

80% of all gasstations here sell LPG. In Germany less but still enough to drive to Switzerland this summer. LPG is even available in France, but who wants to go there??

Behind my rear wheel I have on the left hand side the original gastank and right hand side the spare wheel.
One of the solutions I concidder is to cut away half of the original gas tank and install a very small tank there. In combination with the wheel shaped tank I than can add a 'T' to combine the two 6mm lines and have a 8mm line going to the LPG converter.

 

I sure would like to drive through Switzerland on my terms. What a beautiful country. The last time I was there was in 1999 and it was a buisiness trip. No time for slow liesurely travel. France has it's good points. Although I've only been to Marseilles (spelling). I really enjoyed Benidorm Spain. Now that's a nice spot but that was in 1980.

I've never been to The Netherlands but maybe someday.

 

France certainly has 3 good points: first of all it has a highway directly to Spain and euhhh..... the other two I forgot about

This summer I will visit a huge US car meeting in Switzerland.. will add photos of the Wagons here on this board.

When you ever visit The Netherlands I have a place to stay.. you're welcome here

 

The problem is I don't get to have a choice.

 

I'd switch to synthetic gaskets. Lots of vendors make them for the City vehicles, many on 15% Ethanol already. This isn't new tech. Henry made his old engines into Flex-fuel machines back in the early T's. A few die-punches (leather tooling stuff) and cut your own. They have to be alcohol resistant (material and glue).

 

my condolences to 75...HOLY CRAPP!!!!!!!!
