I'm running the 33.5lbs tanks and can get they already filled for $19.95 each. I not have to pay any kind of rent or deposit on them. I can run all day on about one and a half tanks. Right now the motor is a mild 350 with about 9:1. A slight loss of power, but not enough to justify spending the money to build a higher compression motor until something happens to this one.

I have seen mention of "dual fuel" set ups but can't find good info on them.

I would love to run Propane on the "Clean Up" truck for it's environmental impact. But the reality is that sometimes I might have to drive it some significant distance and would like the option to run gas as a backup if no propane can be found along the way.

I worked on a dual fueled truck years ago. The propane mixer sat on top of the carb like it was the air cleaner. Used the carb for the throttle in either case. What I don't recall was how the fuel change-over was handled. The propane would be the easy part to turn on & off. Not sure about the gasoline part of the syste.
