its was converted for natural gas (propane most likely). i seen one like this before.



im pretty sure its now new from mazda, they might of bought it from a company that converts them and re-sells as new.

FB Front cover, S5 or later rotor housings, and looks like FC irons.

I've seen someone mention propane on this before. What would you use a propane-powered rotary for?

back up generator?

not that propane is much cheaper. but it does burn much cleaner. and the octane rating on it is much higher. i dont have any exact numbers. but i know you can throw crazy boost at it.



this is has to be for NA looking at the length of the runners though...

Rob x-7 06-10-2008 03:16 PM

the guy is also selling pumps and AC units, so back up generator is my guess
