With $5.00 plus per gallon for #2, propane injection commonly called a Torque Topper may be tempting to some.
Or having propane for your camper to cook with is a more common use.
Either way, watch out for any green brass valves on propane tanks: http://www.npga.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=529

I guess this is how the Meth Heads are Going Green.

The ones on my boat were a bit green green and here all this time I though it was the salt air.

Reasons why I OWN my own propane cylinders, rather than exchange them.

Or, it could be that the exchange places are charging about $4.50 per gallon for the gas (since you only get ~4 gallons per 5 gal bottle) while the BYOB LP vendors were selling for $3 in my area.

Does anybody have experience with propane injection in a CRD?
