The main cost of the unit is the very high pressure tank. These are high strength composite tanks to hold over 1000 PSI. There are pressure reducing regulators that are quite expensive also. I wonder what the car insurance is for carrying these high pressure bombs in you car? I think I would rather ride with dynamite or C4 in my car. Propane is a better idea. The fuel density is almost as high as gasoline and less pressure equipment.

Drill here drill now!!!

The main and just about only problem w/propane is that it’s heavier than air and tends to accumulate in low spots. That’s one of the reasons why it is hated for use as a fuel on boats....leaks over long periods of time can accum in the bilge and create a boom boom.
