There is something seriously wrong with your system. There was a tiny rubber "O" ring in the fuel filter device of my system, it's about the size of the "O" on your keyboard. When that wore out I started using fuel like crazy. It's a common problem. That might be your problem too. The "O" ring shuts off the fuel from the propane tank when the engine stops. One side of the "O" ring is at 100 psi (propane tank pressure) and the other side drops it to about 6 psi I think. So, if it jams\wears it means fuel is always being sent to the motor and lots of it......

I was disappoionted when I had the accident with my blue van ... it had 310,000 miles on it (propane) ... I wanted to see just how long the engine would keep running.

I towed a 16 foot flat deck trailer 24\7 for about 2 years. Never detached it ... no place to park the trailer. This means I didn't baby the engine, and, I've had some wicked weight on the trailer from time to time.
