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?
 
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
