comment Bubbling sound from coolant and increase coolant liquid level
@Trisism The head gasket can be seeping. The combustion chamber produces a much higher pressure than the cooling system, so you may have combustion gases leaking into the coolant but no coolant leaking into the combustion chamber, hence no loss of coolant.

comment Why there is no injection on 1st and 4th cylinders in Fiat Punto?
@Gustek But the propane doesn't go through those injectors does it? The propane system uses a separate fuel control in the vehicles I am familiar with.

comment If I were to convert a gas powered automobile to an electric car, would a difference in specs possibly damage the car?
DC or AC motor? What's the RPM limit on the motor? What's the tire size? What's the final drive (ring and pinion) ratio? What range and top speed do you want?

Have you considered propane? It's easier and less expensive (the conversion, not necessarily the fuel)
