3208NA driving tips
Kerry,
Thanks for the input. Mine is NA, so no turbo and no pyrometer. To the best
of my knowledge, the propane does not significantly increase the EGT, which can
be a real killer as I'm sure you know. Thanks again, Doug

I suspect you don't have a pyrometer, but the EGT's are a pretty important
measure in
deciding how hard to push the coach. Last year, when running through the hills
of WV,
the crossover pipe which feeds my aftermarket turbo started to fail, resulting
in lower air
inputs and overfueling. I noticed a marked increase in EGT's to the point that I
was
becoming quite concerned. It was running about 200 degrees hotter than normal. I
would
be concerned that the propane injection might produce a similar result. Without
piston
coolers (which the turbo motor has, but the NA doesn't), this puts the pistons
in danger of
melting.
