I have had one, it is true engines last major miles. downside is instant loss of 25% of power AND economy. you can regain power and economy by raising compression ratio, ordering a cam designed for propane, and advancing your timing by 30 degrees!! I am think of building one of my D300s with propane. I would rather have natural gas because the power it gives is very similar to gasoline but I can only get natural gas in 2 places in werstern wa. for you guys in Utah you hsould go natural gas. It only costs .71 a gallon in Utah!!!
