If it works out, PM me. My wife and her employees use a Caterpillar propane powered forklift and in high traffic times can blow through a 10-gallon tank in just three days. Other warehouses, with more traffic, would be even more interested. But I'm not holding out a mountain of hope - my understanding is that the carburetor in those things already converts the fuel to vapor before admitting the mix to the cylinders. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.
