Another interesting thing is that your oil remains much cleaner when burning propane.

it really isnt difficult at all.

we used to be heated with propane, had 2 big ass tanks in the back o the house. But the city installed natural gas lines under our street so now we are heated with natural gas. Our bbq is even hooked up to it, so we dont need to go fill up a tank or anything.

Oh, by the way. propane is $1.999 per whatever they sell it by at the Flying J here.
