    Propane has a higher "octane" than gasoline, so it needs higher compression ratios to get efficiency and power. I wonder what the compression ratios are in the Lehrs. As for reliability, the large factory I work in uses a fleet of propane hilos. They wear out from being driven like stolen rental cars, rarely for engine problems.

    If you have too many, AND not enough, you're a collector.
