I read this on the Powered by Propane site and thought it was curious...

<http://www.poweredbypropane.net>

Talking about adding Propane to older engines:

"However, there is a small disadvantage in case of 12- 20 year old cars. Namely, the carbon deposit makes kind of a "sealing crust" from the inner side of the older engine and when it runs on propane this "crust" melts and may make a small oil leak bigger."

I know that propane will clean up a crusty engine, but I'd never thought that the crust might be serving some purpose.

Any thoughts?
