Propane works well on route trucks that return to the depot every day where they can be refueled. If you have a nation wide contract on propane delivery and purchase 45 million gallons a year the price can be very competitive. The local depot here pays less for propane with all the taxes paid than I can contract for heating fuel.
The liquid fuel injection has been around about 10 years now and they are dependable systems. Fuel tanks are stronger than the truck frames. I have seen them knocked off of a truck that was hit by a train and not rupture. All valves must be double sealing and shut off inside the tank so that if they are sheared off they will not leak.
At 100,000 miles of use before trading the additional cost of a diesel compared to a gasoline may not be recovered. The ones I serviced generally got about 250,000 miles on them and for the most part had no failures. After switching to synthetic engine oil they now run 25,000 between oil changes. The other engine servicing is plugs, wires, and filter every 25,000 miles. Servicing the LP system is mostly replacing fuel pumps somewhere between 35,000 and 75,000 miles.
