It looks like they have better ways of doing the tanks now, then when we had our truck.

Is that stuff flameable? If so, that doesnt look like a good place to place the tanks

I've heard about this from someone at work and thought it was crazy. He's from Poland and he says thats what a lot of people do is get those conversion kits and you save more on gas money and it last longer. Somewhere along those lines.

Its not so much a specific Toyota application would be needed...but the 7M isnt a diesel engine

Propane tanks are safer than gas tanks...

Its much more beneficial elsewhere in the world where prices on gas is far more than it is here. Still looking into it as a gasoline alternative in the U.S. I'm planning on moving away from America in the future before our economy takes a huge dump, and of course bringing my car with me.

Just judging the offset of lower BTUs, conversion price, and how much the octane equivilent will be...104 octane is expencive vs. propane
