Propane Conversion
I purchased this Kit from
GotPropane.com. It was a complete turn
key system, the only thing I had to fab was the mount for the regulator (Left
Passenger fenderwell), everything else was included even the tank brackets. The
Forklift Tanks are extra. GotPropane.com will supply the tanks, but I was
able to source used ones for 1/3 the price of a new one.
The Engine now responds like it's
fuel injected. Power increase was very notable and throttle response is
incredible! No more Spitting, sputtering, bitchin' or complaining from
this old girl!
