Thank you, thank you  (takes a bow...)
One of these years I'll upload the videos of the running and testing. I currently own this rig and would love to experiment further with liquid fuel vs the propane as seen in the picture. Propane works very well, gave perfectly reliable and quick throttle response but is consumed at an enormous rate. Over-chilling of the supply tank, and consequently the loss of fuel pressure, necessitated constructing a fuel vaporizer that allowed liquid propane to leave the afterburner supply tank and then enter the afterburner chamber as a gas - lots of it! Hot water from the water heater was fed into the vaporizer to gassify the propane. Going with diesel or kerosene sure helps eliminate the supply issues but adds others. One year...

And to think I was driving that very same turbo-turbine gokart before it popped!
