Subject: Re: DML: RE: E85 fuel information..
I used to run one of my trail trucks on propane. It was nice to not have
carb issues I once had. As long as it was sucking oil up the sump it was
running. It ran on its side and on its top until oil starvation would come
into play.
I'm just really curious about other, cleaner, fuel sources.
If I could get away with making my own I'd probably try.
