AUTHORS NOTE;
This is a list of procedures that I wrote as best that I could. This is a “redneck, shade-tree” modification to relocate the OEM LP to the frame rail by the fuel tank. This is an “At your own risk” procedure and the author will not accept responsibility for damage to the vehicle it is performed on or to other vehicles/personal property, warranties, personal injury, or any other generally “bad” things that might happen in a worst case scenerio, form following this procedure.
I am not getting paid for this, so specifics like nut, bolt, wrench sizes, torque specs, and some obvious things like removing and discarding of OEM parts are not included in the instructions. You need to have the ability to change your own oil, fuel filters, and most things that bolt to the outside of the engine (starters, alternators, fuel pumps) to complete this project. An office dwelling desk jockey with soft hands that does not like to get dirty may be able to complete this, but you had better have a friend than works on his/her own vehicle available to bail you out. I would like to thank Jeff Randol, Matt Goncalves, and various other TDR members for their development and research in this procedure. PM me for a MS Word version of these instructions.
