propane!

[acousticrawk]

i was wondering if anyone is running propane and what they think of it. i was looking at one of those kits from gotpropane.com for a 258. what kind of mileage are you getting and how do you like it is what id really like to know. thanks!

I run propane on a yota and really like it. My tanks are 10 gallon and can wheel a full day and a half on 1 tank , I have never used it on the street to check mileage. Mine isnt a kit. A buddy of mine bought every thing part by part for a fork lift and peiced it together for a fraction of the price. I think somewhere around $180-$200 , plus tanks. It seemes to me that it will lug down to very low rpms and just keep on pulling. It runs perfect even when you roll it and never misses a beat. You can put it on its side and turn the key off and fire it back up with out ever touching the gas peddal.
Just my $.02

i would love to piece my own kit together. do you have any info or could you tell me how your friend did it?

[bc35339]

the best I could do is take a pic of each part. I have no ideal what each part is called or where he bought it but it dont look like theres much to it.

that would be good. someone told me to talk to tinbeater. is he in this forum? supposedly he put all his stuff together and saved a ton of money.

You're joking, right ?
