Moving propane to between the frame rails

[gary j zingle]

Darren

I too am interested in moving the
propane to between the frame rails.

Have you looked into the gauge
situation? Will there be a gauge
at the fill location? A remote reader
for inside the coach?

Will the fill location be within the
present propane compartment or
will a new door be required for fill?

Please keep me informed

PS - On the issue of safety. Many
years ago my brother did propane
conversions (dual fuel) on RCMP
cars. These cars are of course
continually placed in bad situations.
One of the first conversions he did
was parked on the side of the highway
when it was rear ended by someone
driving a car who never even touched
the brakes. The propane tank was
launched from the trunk and was
laying in the middle of the road.
Although propane was leaking the
tank was still whole. The gas tank
(previously under the trunk) was
torn to shreds and no longer contained
ANY gas.

There would be a remote gauge. It should even work with the OEM panel.
As far as the fill location, I think it could go in several different
places. It all depends on which floor plan and how it has been changed.
I would place it as close to the tanks as possible which would mean a
new door low on the left side close to the middle. There are several
options and each individual could do what they wished. Darren

Actually it would be a good idea to change the Subject when you change
subjects for the folks on the Digest.
