One thing that most folks dont realize..is that gasoline gennies can be run on natural gas very very easily for very long periods of time. There are many many sites out there that will show you how to modify a carby so it will run on natural gas instead of..or as a multifuel genny...running on both gasoline and natural gas/lp gas. You get desparate enough, you can stand in front of it modulating a valve. I ran a V8 engine once by pulling the metering jet out of a propane torch and feeding gas up the line to my vacuum gage. I didn't need to go far and it sure beat walking. Wes -- "Additionally as a security officer, I carry a gun to protect government officials but my life isn't worth protecting at home in their eyes."

Clever! I've wondered if a vehicle could be run on a 20
pound propane tank. I'm sure it can, but I havn't the time or the need to try it. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Wes" wrote in message ...

I didn't have one of those but I had a 1 pound propane tank and an adversion to leaving my car on the side of the road.

And the raw grit to make it work. I've heard in some poor
countries, two kids will run a vehicle. One sits on top and siphons gas out of a gascan, into the throat of the carb. Or into the air intake, for fuel injected. Other kid pedals and steers. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Wes" wrote in message ... "Stormin Mormon" wrote: Clever!
