Re: The economics of propane

by "Spdloader" <brysonctnospam@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Feb 8, 2008 at 08:30 PM

How about these reasons:

Availability of propane is slim, converting some vehicles over to run it
is 
very costly, you are limited to a smaller range of travel between fill
ups, 
engines are much more finicky running on propane, marginal engines and
high 
mileage engines need to be constantly tuned to run it, the engine has less

power, which is an issue for trucks that pull trailers and equipment. A 
small leak in your garage can be deadly. Just a few initial issues that
come 
to mind.

Works great in a rock climber when you're upside down, though.
