Oh, it’s a GAS. not a liquid, if you run out for any reason you have to call a tow truck!

You got ripped off. I have been looking at the dual fuel system. Run out of gas and switch back over to gasoline. The home compressor is the only thing that is giving me pause. The conversion kit is 3.5K. The home compressor is 7K. They just are not producing enough of them yet. Even at that price I have not turned down this option.

No, never been towed.
There is no gasoline back-up on this truck.
Lack of filling stations is one reason the truck is only driven locally.

The fellow who had the conversion done was required to remove the gasoline tanks by the county in order to be “Smog legal”.

I got the truck when he moved to a state that would not allow it to be registered there, I think his daughter said Texas, might have been Arizona?

I have obtained original gasoline tanks, cannot wait to put them back on and toss the #@&%! Propane system.
The engine is a rebuilt 305 V8, gutless on propane.
I have much stronger running 225 V6’s, on gasoline!

I only bought this truck as it was dirt cheap, no one wanted it without a gasoline capability.

If Nat. Gas will meet your personal performance/hauling needs, you may as well just go electric.
