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.


I think you are supposed to worry about storing propane anywhere that
it could pool in the bilge.
I would store them on deck, in a well ventilated area.

I didn't think you could even go through a tunnel with a propane tank,
on or off. They must have loosened up on that.


Maybe enough RV'ers have complained about it. As to your assertion that propane would pool in the
bilge, you are correct - if it leaked. But gas would do the same thing, no?

Anyway, to check your assertion I went here. Very informative. Some funny responses!
