    WHY?

    With the latest science (real science not a "Consensus of Burorats") showing global cooling is far more likely for our planet ...which is BETWEEN Ice Ages, the production of carbon in the atmosphere would be a positive , if it causes the temperature to fall slower , Not proven tho.

    I appreciate your time and knowledge. Yes, engine is a 2 stroke, and no it is not oil injected (YET). Would hate to get the fuel part spot on and forget the lube.

    Unfortunately, without a system that sufficiently lubricates the engine under all conditions, propane cannot be used as a fuel. Dissolving oil in the fuel, like in gasoline is no option because the fuel enters the engine in gaseous state, unable to transport any liquids.
