[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 258035, member: 1780"] Ok, so I was down at Morris Mtn a couple weeks ago for the RBD workday, going up a steep incline (normal plain trail in 2wd) and truck goes dead like it ran out of propane. It would crank immediately but soon as I'd touch the gas, it'd go dead. Which is exactly how our forklifts do at work when they are completely out of propane. Sooo I switched the propane line over to a grill bottle I keep in the truck as a reserve tank. It fired up, ran perfect, went up the hill, later rolled the sumbitch over a couple times, and drove it back to the trailer.....all the while still running fine like normal. So, thus meaning the big propane tank HAS to be completely empty right? Well went to fill it yesterday, unclamped it, got it out of the truck and felt like it had some left in it....which was wierd. Carried it to get it filled, it only held 7.something gallons. I have ran it completely empty before and it held 11.7 gallons being filled up from a completely empty state. So it had like 3 damn gallons left in it when it quit running on the trail before switching to the small grill bottle. At this point nothing is making sense. I'm baffled as to why in the crap it ran fine after switching over to the little grill bottle, but wouldn't stay running on the main propane tank even though it had in excess of 3 gallons left in it, which it had been running on just fine all day long. Maybe had something to do with releasing the propane line from the main tank and that clearing out the line or something? I don't know jack **** about propane injection swaps, so this is all new to me. :dunno: Engine is a high compression 22r. [/QUOTE]
