When I was a youngster, I was all gung ho about LP as an engine fuel. We sold a couple LP equipped new tractors. Sold and serviced a few LP fueled trucks. The LP gas Co. came into the territory with mass conversions on Farmall M's, 400's etc. Nothing but trouble. Over heating, burning valves, scoring pistons. Talk about manifold problems. The mufflers and exhaust systems literally fell off. These were not tractors that I converted or trucks that I installed conversions. All trucks were factory equipped. Nothing but problems. Now, to defend the trucks , the one thing about LP was the great lugging power they had. They would pull down without a hesitation, and that is what the drivers did. Lugged the he&&& out of them. All tractors and trucks ran nice and smooth, very good acceleration, pulled good. Too good for their own good. They stayed nice and clean because they came apart so many times they didn't have a chance to get cruddy. All disappeared when the diesels took over.
