It would certainly eliminate the ethanol/bad fuel problems.

Where onboard does one safely store the propane?

Why not where the gasoline is stored now? Different tank, of course. I've got four 20lb'ers on my
trailer. Doesn't seem to cause anyone a problem until I go under the tunnel at Norfolf or Baltimore.
Then I just have to turn them off.

John, management of LP gas is a well known problem, on boats.

So isn't gasoline.

Do we store gasoline tanks on the deck in lockers vented overboard?

In a way, yes. Gasoline is stored in a gasoline tank (locker) and is
vented.


Oh, good grief. Whatever.


I guess he has never heard of a leak in a gasoline tank.


Sure I have, and that's my point! Storing gasoline is just as dangerous
as storing propane. I guess you've never heard of a boat blowing up
because of gasoline fumes in the bilge?
