Jonathan, First, ? about filling in the field...a nurse tank, that is talked about by every one else. LP WILL NOT run out of fuel, like a gasoline engine. There is always residuial vapor in the tank that will usually get you back to the house, providing it isn't over a mile or 2. As soon as the engine looses power, chop your throttle to 1/2. Get your plow unhitched. Grab Hi gear and head to the house where your main tank is. In Hi gear keep working the throttle up, to the point where it looses power. Then ease back on it, till the engine levels off. Sit back and enjoy the ride to the house. Knowin you won't have to walk home!! I have done this with a 4020-PS- LP more times than I can count. Next ? you asked, LP runs cleaner than gas or DSL. Will require less maintence too. So an Lp engine should last longer than a gas engine. Hope this helps. John A.
