Yea I guess I could have done it without your help , it would have moved the finish date up a tad like say 2025 and by then I will have forgotten what I was doing . Yea Will the pipe builder told me he would roll a piece of stainless sheet for the turbo and install so that also is covered .. to my s...

Well the rebuild on my old Towmotor (( was bought out by Caterpillar in the 60's )) forklift propane components seems to work fine . I am not going to get into how I feed the system but when the tank is getting low it is easy to tell that it needs changing . Exhaust seems to run a bit hotter than it...
