propane conversion

gothodgie · 10-27-2009, 10:11 PM

I am seriously considering running propane on the trail rig i am building.
Seems to be the way to go these days. From what i have read here there are a few of you that are running propane on your trail rigs.

I have tanks already and will be needing the rest of the parts. Was hoping i could get some advice, parts soures, how much $ i might expect to spend for the parts. Will be running a 4.3 chevy if it makes a difference at this point.

thanks in advance....

Check out this site. Most of the guys I know that have done it use their kits.

propane is gay... but if you must use it, check out the link above. His stuff is a little more pricey, but his kits are COMPLETE and the customer service is great. If you have issues or need help, you can count on him...

Ha, no kidding, i was amazed at how efficient it is. I ran the power valve way in, thinking i was gonna starve for fuel, but it seems i may have got it just right.

Used just a little more than 2 tanks the entire weekend. 2 full days of wheeling...

Propane's not gay, its just misunderstood! I pieced mine together from junk and it works great!!! There can't be an easier fuel system to set up, a tank seems to last way longer than everyone told me they would, it runs at any angle, won't spill out if you roll over,and you can work on a running vehicle inside all day and it won't kill you. The only things I don't like about it are dragging 2 extra tanks around, and remembering to get them all filled before a trip.
