Yep, Propane. Been using it for about (What SEEMS Like....) a Million Years. I Have a Couple of the Small Propane Torch Kits, and I Dedicated one JUST for Checking Intake (or any Type of Vacuum) Leak(s). I Removed the Stock Tip, and installed a Tight Fitting Hose over the Torch Pipe end, and use The Hose for more Pin Point accuracy. That way, You Don't get "False Positives" when Excess Fuel (Propane Fuel) runs in the Breather. REMEMBER, You DON'T Need to turn the Shut off All the Way on, JUST what You Need to Locate any issue(s). Quite Simple, and VERY Effective. Good Luck, and HTH.   :up:
