Propane Conversion: Any interest in a photo posting?
« on: March 19, 2012, 10:47:34 pm »
Would anybody be interested in a step-by-step posting, with detailed photographs, of what is involved in a bi-fuel propane conversion (i.e., runs on gasoline or propane)?

This would be based off Impco automotive propane parts.  I have rebuilt the majority of the parts I'm going to use; which include the Impco Model E regulator and Impco 300 mixer.  The rest is of the conversion is the tank, switches, wiring and lines.

     I would love to see it, I have been wondering about if it is worth it or not to do a conversion on one of these trucks.  So a detailed conversion would be great, it might end up in the tech section for everyone's benefit.

It looks like there are a few interested parties. 

I'm in the middle of refurbishing some parts, but I'll post photos of the install process once it begins.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!
