There's a guy on eng-tips.com who performed oil analysis on propane fumigated diesels, counts of aluminium and iron were higher.
Does the cleanliness of running make up for the extra wear caused by the detonation?

LPG much cheaper than diesel...

But yes, reports of extra engine wear are a worry so think I'll sit on the sidelines for a while until there's some examples with 100K k on the clock...

What is your typical LPG price in Aussie?
Here weight for weight it's dearer than diesel, a 9kg bottle is around $16 to fill.

Got a link? I can't find the analysis.

About 70c a litre if you use auto gas compared to 140c litre diesel. I'm hoping that only putting a small amount in will give a slight increase in power and slight increase in economy without putting too much extra strain on anything.
