Propane Tractor Problem

The Ford propane fueled tractor will only run about 15 minutes after each refill before needing to be refilled again.

When the propane company comes out to refill the tractor, it will run for about 8 hours, which would need to be done each day - costly and impractical.

Tractor recently serviced. Called several tractor repair shops. None had experience with propane. I believe that one suggested it could be a pressure problem during filling.

Any insight or suggestions greatly appreciated.

Your only getting about a 1% fill of your tractor tank,what kind of pumping equipment do you have to fill the tractor tank from the nurse tank?? You need a liquid propane pump to fill the tractor against vapor pressure in the tractor tank,or a vapor pump to lower the vapor pressure in the tractor tank and increase it in the nurse tank,so liquid propane will flow to the tractor tank. Many just vent tractor tank vapor pressure to the air so the higher nurse tank pressure will fill the tractor tank with liquid propane altho venting propane vapor to the air is not legal in most areas If you have never worked with fueling a propane powered tractor,you need to talk to someone with experience,as you risk explosion and fire if you do it wrong.

I know very little about L.P. powered tractors, but I think if you ask this question on the "tractor talk" forum, You will recieve several comments.
