Hello JD Fuller
Man Thanks a lot for that information!!!!!!!!, I have found only one gas station in the area where i live,but there are others in nearby suburban areas. Thanks a lot, I have saved all the emails you sent me with the links because i know i will have to use them later. Thanks again. I think i can use an old air compressor tank for this and fit it under the jeep. Thanks a lot man , i really appreciate your help.

Hi Sergio
No. The trucks not Russian. Just an '84 GMC Sierra 3/4 ton Heavy Duty. (It's beat-up and rusty and I like it!)
 
To be honest, a properly installed propane system is much safer than a traditional gas system. The fuel tanks are considerably harder to puncture than what is out there now. The gas itself has a much narrower air/fuel mixture range than gasoline so its actually harder to manage an unintentional burn.
 
We used to say that you would probably get around 80% of the performance and fuel economy compared to regular gas but at only 50% of the cost you came out ahead in the wallet. I've been told that some of the newer vapourizers realize close to 100% performance and economy.
 
Our gas is about 80 cents per litre while the propane is 37 to 41 cents. I never use regular gas in the truck.
 
I used to be certified on propane handling and drove buses running straight propane systems. There is some loss of efficiency in dual-fuel
 
Only real drawback is the lack of fueling stations. Plenty here in Alberta but very few in the ajoining provinces and states.

HI JD
What kind of truck is it? Russian? . Is the propane gas kind of risky to drive with it or not?. In USA the only vhicles i have seen runing with this fuel are the forklift we have in Factorys like where i work. They are kind of slow turtle  anyway. is it cheap ,does it last and why do you use it?
