Default Duramax Flame Thrower

Thanks to PFrog at DP for the stack fun.


Here are some pics of my stack during flame testing.

-WARNING AND DISCLAIMER-

I have had alot of questions about how I did it, and I will provide more information about the parts I used if you PM me.

You can see in the picture that it consists of:
  • high pressure regulator
  • 12v lock-off solenoid
  • high voltage ignitor
  • some spark plugs and brake line
  • Pure Stupidity!
ignitor from amazing1.com
2 champion RC12YC
2 Anti fouling spark plug fittings
60 psi adjustable LP regulator
12v LP lockoff solenoid - from alternative fuels
1/2 " and 3/16 " brake line
a bunch of brass fitings
1/2" LP rubber hose
(need to increase ignitor power)

Note: the flames you see are all at idle, even with ALOT of propane the truck will blow out the flames if you hit the throttle (no oxygen)

I would not recommend trying this while driving, only stopped at an idle!

I'm thinking I'm going to do this on my single since I was planning to install propane anyway for long trips.


Whit, there are tanks out there that are designed to be mounted long-ways under the bed.

How about a little writeup on how to do this?


If you keep showing me things like this - I will need to get stacks.
