Thread: Dual fuel-propane and gasoline

As to hoses being ripped of and the vehicle exploding........ any _proper_ installation will have an excess flow valve in the tank outlet which makes this type of issue almost impossible. much less likely than a gas vehicle having a hose ripped loose and the vehicle bursts into a ball of flame.
Only in Hollywood.

I visited Las Vegas back in the 70's and, IIRC, the taxi driver we rode with mentioned that his taxi was running on Natural Gas. As a matter of fact, he thanked us as Canadians since the gas came from Alberta and he said he was saving a lot of money using it.

absolutly not. sorry if you took it that way. just saying a _proper_ installation makes a propane system very very safe, and nearly impossible to make explode. then again.... anything can and does happen under the right set of cercumstances (no matter what the fuel).
