[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 424268, member: 1780"] I ain't so sure of the actual physics of it, vapor in the tank will still run a rig. It has to go through a vaporizer which heats up the liquid propane, turning it into a vapor before it gets to the carb anyways. If you're running out on inclines that bad, sounds to me like the bottle would be damn near empty anyways. My secondary reserve tank for when my 10 gallon runs out, is a standard grill bottle vapor tank. It will still run my rig fine standing upright, operating just off of vapor, but does not provide enough fuel supply to power my engine under higher rpm's. Stab the gas, and it will start cuttin out. I'm sure this effect would be worse on a bigger engine that my 22r, but it just seems to me, if your tank is mounted close to the orientation it is designed for, and you are running out on inclines, it's time to switch to a new tank anyways. :dunno: [/QUOTE]
