Fox, Curt's dad Bernard has one that is turboed with PROPANE. Advantages = 103octane, no sensors needed, no wiring, no fuel pump, no fuel spillage (when you are upside down!). You can even run a simple draw through setup. Unlike gasoline, propane will not pool up in the turbo on a draw through. Propane has a very wide range of lean to rich tolerance. Motor will stay cleaner. No gunk on intake valves. No carbon on pistons. Oil last twice as long. Hope this helps.

OK, Then; am i missing something? Isn't there a big red buggy (Curt's buggy)in most of the videos, climbing most of the baddest hills? What fuel does it use? PROPANE! IMHO.
