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

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.
