I say BS

Ramrod, you worked on a fleet of cars and trucks. Did you ever have natural gas vehicles?

Yea we had 2 , I wasnt really impressed by them, Take off an accelration was a bit slow I felt, An then filing them up was a bit of a chore, However right now wih cost of LP, I dont think you would see much savings. Oh yea we had to have the valves replaced, Something about them breaking other wise.Ive got a 125 gal propane tank on my house its like $325.00 to fill it rite now

Yea, I worked on propane generaters. They're not to good, they get this build-up of gunck in the carb.
As for the acetone in the tank, it may not hurt, but I don't think it will help. [sm=badidea.gif]

i know this is an old post. but, yes, using a small amount of acitone can increase the burn ratio in gasoline and diesel engines..

and that gunk in your propane system, is due to not having a low point drain in your gas line. as there is a oil vapor mixed in with the propane. it slowly settles out of the gas. if the oil is left in the system, it will mess things up. using a low point drain and draining the lines a couple times a year will resolve the problem..
