[QUOTE="midnitelight, post: 420930, member: 11022"] In Canada, all of p57 propane package cars been added the warming blankets.. or they are in the process of being added to them. it merely keeps the propane warm enough to be in vapour state, which the engine uses. if its in the liquid state it is too rich. basically engine wont run. propane in liquid state is around -44F or -42C. propane, from liquid to vapour expands to 270 times. Its all about the propane being in the proper state and air to fuel ratio. Nothing to do with refilling at 3/4 of a tank or tune up. At this point because these are brand new cars which been converted to propane. The difference with p500 and p800 being okay.. is because of this design in the system.. where propane is in vapour and usable state. P57's design did not consider being under -42C, or having additional warmers. P57s propane were never tested in Canadian colder climates. But with these blankets , they have corrected the problem.
