You bet I do Mitch. I have everything in a barn at my dads farm, about 2 1/2 hours from where my farm is.

I wonder what it would cost to ship everything by Greyhound (except the tank).... at 80c p/liter it would be cheaper than gasoline.....

Well i dont know. Im not sure what the shipping cost would be. I kind of forget whats all there offhand. The tanks is pretty big, but you should be able to find one of them kicking around the LML somewhere eh.

An entire system is 2500 to 5000... I aint that rich... I make rent & bills each month, not much left over... Sad thing is, I really like my job & the people I work with, regardless of how little I make.

The shop that neighbors mine, does all the propane stuff. I would get him to install everything, and buy the tank for me.

Perfect to have a hook up like that.

Have you checked around on craigslist and whatnot down there? I didnt think a propane system was so much money.

Propane at the flying J's here was 69.9 cents this morning, I can see why you want to get this done.

I've looked at a few propane systems down here, and they're total garbage. And people are too damn proud of their junk.

One guy wanted $1500 for his POS, and an old rusted tank that expired 10 years ago.

isn't the efficiency of propane about 1/2 gasoline?? if thats true, 80c/liter for propane doesn't work out to much of a deal...

No problem Sheldon. I'll probably be pullin the tags next month. Insurance & gas are killing me each month.

That holds true to engines that do not have low compression. the inline 6 has a larger stroke giving it lower compression. They're already designed to run perfect with propane.

Hmm theres one fact I didnt know. I had one buddy with a 302 in his truck that had propane and he said it got really decent fuel mileage on the propane. He did say it was alot more gutless, but he drove it empty so he didnt care.
