PROPANE conversion... LPG carburetor bolt on kit...

So would 2 forklift tanks fit under the bed if you pulled the spare tire and gas tank?

What's the capacity of a forklift tank and how long can you run on one?

I've got a dump bed, makes it easy to get underneath to pull tanks or service.

My home has a 1000 gal tank. Could I fill the truck from that somehow?

Thanks,

Kirk

 

71.9c/L here in town vs $114.9/L for gas.
In the summer it could be had as low as 49.9c/L while gas was at $109.9
Our propane F150 was unusable all week with -30 temps overnight.

How about posting pictures of your propane tank mounting.

 

I have 2 forklift 33# tanks each hold a little under 8 gal of propane. I refill from my house tank. I pay $2.15 per gal on last fill-up. I am thinking on moving my 2 tanks under the bed and would sure like to see some pictures of the under bed tanks mounting.

 

So Griz, how do you fill from your home tank? Where did you get the lines, connectors etc? How do you guage the fill?

I'm thinking you could run a truck all day long on an 8 gallon tank?

And that's legal here in the USA! No tax on an "alternative fuel". Wonder how much longer this will last...

The home tank I have is small (100gal) and I take it to the propane business to fill it. This business sells hoses, fittings, tanks as well as propane. When refilling my empty truck tanks I make the hose connections, crack open the bleed valve on the truck tank (gas vapor will escape) open both ends of the fill hose and liquid propane is transferred do to pressure difference until liquid propane comes out of the bleed valve. I then close all valves and my truck tank is refilled. I am getting 30 to 35 km per gal of propane.
