no affiliation but noticed this low mileage 308gtsi for sale which has been converted to run on some sort of recycled gas.

check out the tank setup in front and rear trunks

 

I would love to try to park that in one of the NYC garages that checks your trunk: would get quite a bit of (perhaps unwanted) attention...!

 

You're not kidding that thing looks like it's loaded for a bombing mission.

 

Saw this the other day... Why?!?

 

This "experimental gas from recycling" they're talking about. Is it LPG (propane)? Seems plausible.

 

More likely methane, salvaged from landfills.....

 

What better way to attract attention to your product than with a Rosso Corsa Ferrari? Looks kinda cool and it must have been a real attention getter on the floor at the various trade shows and exhibitions it traveled to...

 

I wonder what the energy content of methane is...it might be higher than gasoline and thus make more power.

I think they could have installed the bottles a little better or made a custom one...looks kind of half-assed.

 

My wife always said that if I bottled it .............would look just like this with a tube in the cockpit!

 

half-gassed LOL

 

Amen, but shows the problem with the low energy density of a gas -- you need a BIG tank.

 

The L in LPG stands for Liquid. It's under pressure and thus in liquid form. The energy content per gallon still is about 10% lower than gas. The "for racing" is humbug.

The stuff does have a 10% higher octane rating, so you COULD advance ignition a bit further without detonation, but this hardly compensates for the lower energy content of the stuff.

(I've got LPG in my daily driver BMW)
