Propane tank location...

Looking for ideas to mount a Propane tank on my F250. I don't want it in the bed cause I haul a lot for work. Is there a common spot on the frame people use? Is there any Injection kit I should stay away from? Thanks!

I contacted a company on ebay with the 179$ kit but no tank. The bully dog kit is 800$ and thats kind of a lot. I have no experience but would like to know also.

Propane is not a good choice for a Duramax, you should go with Danamite. you will get a bigger bang for your buck

How big a tank are we talking about here? Build a cage in the bed around the tank? Lots of room outside the frame rail, especially on the passenger side.

That's what I was referring too haha.

Petey - don't be a feminine cleaning bag and knock other brands. That's a dodge thing to do.

Funny funny but I was referring to the d-max comment. We're in a Powerstroke tech forum. Keep that crap out of here.

He's a sponsor here. Many diesel sponsors offer products or are researching products for all of the big 3. As long as he's asking diesel truck questions, I'm OK with that. If he starts asking about his Toyota Prius, then I say it's time to get him banned.

And that's how diesel motorsports get a bad name. That's why people that drive the Prius hate diesels even more.

Not going to say I've never sooted anyone before but just cause it's a Prius?

Note: I know that was meant in jest but that is a serious point I wanted to make. Not specifically calling out the Bullydog rep here. Just addressing a general issue while the subject is at hand.
