Turboragtop Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 When I was a kid my dad had a '69 Datsun pickup which he converted to run on propane. He found a 50 gallon LP gas tank and managed to fit it in the bed. The old man was kind of a gas mileage fanatic, and the record he claimed was 1,200 miles on a single tank of fuel. My little brother and I had a ton of fun in that old pick up. Including the four or five times we blew the head gasket by overheating it. Then working all night to get it back together to deliver newspapers the next morning. Good times… I think that is why I am still a lover of Datsuns in general. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Propane contains less energy than gasoline but burns cleaner and more efficiently. It won't give the same mileage as gas but it's also cheaper. (or was) 1,000 miles is 20 MPG which isn't unreasonable for propane. 1 Quote Link to comment
