Message It also burns cleaner (lower emisions), and propane fueled engines last longer. There is little or no fouling or contamination of spark plugs, valves, combustion chambers, oil or oil filters.

But, it must be stored in a pressurized tank and you must refuel using a fully closed system. Fueling locations are somewhat limited.

Propane is widely used in light fleet vehicles. For example, every taxi I have ever ridden in in Japan was propane fueled. I'm sure with the appropriate design and tuning a high performance propane engine could be developed, but at this stage, it would be a custom application. I doubt if there is an off the shelf conversion for the Z32.
