As far as propane goes, can't you look up public busses or school busses that use it?

Check back with me next summer, me and a friend may be trying to convert my CB400 to run on hydrogen over the winter as part of our final project in our engineering degree. We'll be using direct injection, should be fun. If I make her run on hydrogen, I'll be riding her every day, for the cost of water and a little electricity. We plan on developing a household H2 filling station as well, so you can fill a motorcycle or small car overnight.

Did you see the mythbusters where they just directed a jet of H2 into a standard carb car, and it ran...until it backfired and caught on fire:laugh:

knock the top off a propane tank and see what happens!:laugh:You sit there with four gallons of gasoline between your legs over a hot engine and hot coils connected to a battery and complain about propane? Bwhwhwhwa... Hey, how about methane? I got this idea that involves Mexican food, a hose... ah never mind.

You can fill up with gasoline, Propane, or Diesel most everywhere. When gasoline was going crazy many folks just had their cars converted to propane, takes about 2 days turn around and the fuel was alot cheaper....
I think that if you are in a crash that ruptures your fuel tank you are in for a world of hurt no matter what fuel you use....

bought it because I was told it would never run again...I like to prove people wrong.
