cut and paste from http://www.autopropane.com/html/faqs.html.  The main drawbacks of this system are its susceptibility to backfires if not properly maintained and its lack of horsepower (about a 10% drop).

  I would think you would need a large storage on your bomber to carry it, taking up valuable space.  OT.
