lpg/propane engine bedding

(OP)
hi.is it ok to run a new engine in on propane/LPG.has anyone heard of a wax filter that bleeds into the gas line to assist lubrication of bore and valves while running in a new engine. The engine is straight gas.someone told me u can only use petrol to bed the rings in.thanks?

RE: lpg/propane engine bedding

mathewvos:  

If the engine is set up for gasoline, you will need to modify it to run on LPG/Nat Gas such as different carburator, etc.  I have broken engines in using the fuel on which they are built to run (gasoline/diesel).  the big thing is to follow the recommended break in procedure.  Do that and it will be fine.

Regards
Dave
