Yeah, I believe propane man thought the van was powered by propane. He asked me to check the gauge to see if it was filling. I said it had no gauge. He asked how I knew it was low. I told him it was empty. He was surprised that it only took 3 gallons. The bleed was not open, and the pump was running, and I'm sure it just crammed all it could in there. Then after I paid the other guy the $5, I was leaving, and he asked how many mpg it got. I told him about 17. Then as I was climbing in to leave, he said something about it being better than a gas engine or something. Only then did I figure out what he thought. Thanks for the input. Edward |
