When running a gas mower with a gas (propane), can it go into the carboratour without exploding, backfire?

Question

I want to feed hydrogen or biogas into a gasoline mower, with a separate oil tank. And I am wondering if feeding that into the carboratour (air intake?) could result in a backfire explosion back into the tank of gas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

EMO

Answer 2

Propane burns hotter than gas.  I think some steel part need to be replaced with stelite or other more durable materials for it to run long term.

Answer 3

No, backfiring is caused by bad timing. Propane vehicles in the '70's sometimes consisted of a regulated supply of  CNG fed directly into the carb. No reason it wouldn't work on a mower.

Answer 4

I have an old  1 horse motor with a special carburetor on that runs off propane . The motor is so old its unreal . I got it from an old farm house i use to rent . I guess the old farmers used them . I guess you would have to get a special carb that is made for such gases .
