Re: IML: Ways to improve milage?

[Bob Zubkowski <bzubkow@xxxxxxx>]

I ran a propane powered van for years, You get a little less gas miles but 
at that time it was much cheaper almost half price for fuel. The problem is 
also finding a place that sells propane. Not easy if you are in a unknown 
area. I carried a small bottle with a fuel hose to fill it  much the same s 
if you have a gerry can with you. Today I don't think it is worth it. I 
would rather put a diesel engine in and run deep fryer fat from fast food 
stores as a better option. You can also by a biodiesel station for your home 
where you make your own biodiesel. The size is abour the size of a hot water 
tank and runs abour $3000.00 to put in.
