I try to act normal, I really try ;-)
Hi,
As an environmentalist, more concerned about pollution than climate I'd like to convert my bike to propane, and still get 300mi/400km ride. Of course with a 50km gasoline reserve.
So I'm floating this idea out there for those that may be interested. Formal project management shall apply, scaled to project size.
First, the tank. I'm thinking of a carbon fiber 3D web, with a kevlar skin. The propane and gasoline reserve would be in same tank, one floating on top of other. A 3-way manual selection valve would be used to drain fuel from inside top or bottom of tank. The challenge is adding the gasoline reserve in this single tank containing propane. My thoughts are to have a kind of pouch that would buffer gasoline "2 litre gulps" to a transfer fuel pump, "et voila". 1st brain storm.
¿ What sayeth thou ?
