RV propane tanks come in many different sizes.swa0330 said:Is there much capacity to one of those? They seem small but maybe propane stores differently than gas.

I think you're right. he did say "cng", now that I think of it. %)daddyo said:I think you have to have a natural gas vehicle to use the carpool lanes here

I like the 4Bt idea, but the cost is a bit prohibitive for me right now. The propane conversion running between 600-1000 bucks seems damn cheap to me. Plus not haveing to do nearly as much work. But a 4Bt may be in the future. What the hell, I've already accepted the fact that this truck will NEVER be done.swa0330 said:I have never done a propane conversion, but I am putting together a 4BT. It seems that the propane is easier somewhat from what I have heard. I am sure that it is cheaper to do though.
yellowrouge said:Thanks to all. Biggest problem I'm seeing is tank location. I'm going to talk to the local dealer to see if they can come up with a 20gal ASME tank I can mount horizontally. Something like this one on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=4570135280&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT
Any gas station that has propane can do this. That's how RV's get filled.JaxLax said:if you are going to hard mount it, make sure you know of enough places that can fill the tank for you. a lot of places don't have the ability to fill tanks if they know it's on a road bound vehicle.
