I never drove a Diesel LP....some might be facts...
Oil does not get black...but still it breaks down and needs changed....no carbon or soot...power was the same as gas....and in most states you need a LP license to pump it in...so that one is false

I believe the biggest problem is the fuel storage. I seem to recall that it takes a much larger and heavier constructed tank to haul the same energy. I think that's why we don't see everyone rushing to it for all vehicles.
That is part of it...NG is far worse....a 40lb tank is like 9 gallons of fuel....so you'd at least need 2 40's to be worth it...and run a dual system....then you get into the weight problem....takes from your cargo limit...
In the past I did some research on a system of this type. You can find an article on what is called "LPG Fumigation" at the following location:

Are there any studies on these been done by reputable labs?
Sounds like a very complex system....heck it is hard enough to find a good diesel mechnutnic now never mind if something goes wrong with this system...
Thanks, but, it did not come up. I would have liked to have read it.

A valid concern.
