Propane Outboard Motor Anyone?

It would certainly eliminate the ethanol/bad fuel problems.

I don't know about this area but in some parts of the country you can
take your 20 pound bottle to a distributor and get it refilled for
much less than the "tank exchange" prices. Many places you can also
get propane delivered to your house in tanks about 5 feet high and
maybe a foot or so in diameter. I'm guessing that they probably hold
60 to 100 pounds. You could probably run directly from those tanks
on a boat of your size or use them to refill smaller bottles.

Thanks to both you and Greg. You reminded me to get my BBQ tank replaced. It's empty.

I'll be giving Propane Taxi a call.

Thank you, gentlemen!

Thought you were a COSTCO fan. You could load up on the cheap hotdogs
while getting the propane tank filled.

For what it's worth, propane has an octane rating of 100. Plus you get
a uniform, good as fuel injection, mixture to each cylinder.

I absolutely love Costco hot dogs. I like three at a time, with a slice of combo pizza of course. I
give the extra paper drink cups to someone in the line behind me. That tends to **** off the folks
taking money, but I don't like being charged for three drinks just 'cause I want three hot dogs.

Yiikes!
Thought I was bad ordering one dog and an order of fries with gravy.
Even that affects my appetite for supper 5 or 6 hours later.


Fries with gravy sounds good...but too much fat...especially when eaten with three hot dogs. And, I
eat only once a day, normally, so three hot dogs is breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The pizza is
dessert.


Used to be a diner here that served up real cut on premises fries with
whatever gravy you wanted. 24 hours a day! My favorite meal there was
there fantastic cheeseburger with fries and turkey gravy! They also had
killer oyster stew, so sometimes it was oyster stew and cheeseburger!

They seem to use Kahns here, the quarter pound ones. Costco dogs are
bigger than that I think. They come on a hogie roll. One is plenty for
me.
Maybe the Nathans is a northern thing. Both Sams and Costco sell them
but not at the snack bar.


Costco, until recently, sold the Hebrew National 1/4lb'er. Now their selling the Kirkland brand,
same size. I can't tell the difference between the two. Both are great, and, I think, have a better
flavor than the Nathans. But, maybe there's just more salt mixed with the fat. I don't tell my
doctor that I eat 'em. And, I do it only once every couple months.


I haven't looked at the package but Kirkland has been listing the
manufacturer on a lot of their products. It may still be Hebrew
National.

I think virtually all hot dogs have way too much salt but that may
just be me. I usually get the low sodium, low fat Mavericks if I want
a hot dog for me. The kids still like the regular ones. I have a
roller so hot dogs can be too easy. I have to watch myself.



Hebrew National has some lower fat dogs. I've never looked at what
they've done about the salt. The lower fat dogs are pretty good.
