Default Propane Outboard Motor Anyone?

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.

I am always in the learning mode. That's why the question mark.

But the article indicates that proper procedures for handling the stuff are well known. The article
answers the original question.

Thanks.


I guess another point to be made is that smaller boats may not have
any room to install an LP locker. (At least, I can't figure out
where.) I'd really like to join the LP/LNG rush, but I don't think I
have room on any of my boats to accommodate the locker.

I'll throw a question back at you, since you are a diesel owner. Do
you expect the price of diesel to drop dramatically as 18-wheelers
convert to LNG? We may soon be addressing the return of diesel
outboards and alternative highway fuels for those boat and RV haulers.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...910235090.html


I hadn't seen that article. Since refineries can adjust output of different products, I wouldn't
expect the price of diesel to fluctuate any more than the price of gasoline. If the LNG rush catches
on big time, I'd expect the demand for both diesel and gasoline to go down, along with the prices. I
liked this line:

"But today, truck manufacturers are embracing natural gas for everything from bi-fuel pickup trucks
like the Chevy Silverado HD to eighteen-wheelers that can burn natural gas either compressed, called
CNG, or super-chilled, called LNG."

Wonder how much it would cost me to get my pickup converted to 'bi-fuel'.

I wonder....if diesel outboards become popular, will Karen from down-under come back to the group?

Way too expensive. Not only in modification, but also in fuel
economy. And where are you going to find LP out on the road?

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.
