Well, I meant good job on the post. I know you have one stack.
BTW I had propane on my truck when I first bought it, I got rid of it because it kept freezing up. It did not work very well.

You mean propane and air, not oxygen (o2) right?

If the proper controller was installed to regulate the mixture then it wont freeze up. It was freezing up because your flow rate was way too high. We have propane systems on every one of our ranch trucks in central Texas. Dont have an issue on any of them.

YES, air NOT O2. I dont want a bomb in my bed.

ON EDIT: Before the conversation gets started; propane WILL NOT increase your fuel mileage. It increases your range not miles per gallons of fuel used.

There WILL be video. If I can get the air/propane mixture right I'll need a passenger to do the recording while driving down the road. Any takers? John...Russell?
