i'll get links up in a bit.
rb- propane can be had at walmart, lowes, home depot, 7-11, or any other place that exchanges tanks. propane exchange is cheaper than gas right now, and you can find tanks for free on cl all the time.

If I could get pane at any gas station while on long trips ifs do it.
Diesel, I have no prior experience. But there are plenty of forums with diesel knowledge I can tap into, most Aussie. And i found a local source that services a few Toyota diesels I'd be interested in, so worst case I can get a mechanic familiar with a foreign lump.

Cost
Gasoline @ $3.40 per gallon x 18 = $61.20 / 300 miles = $0.204 per mile
LPG @ $2.75 per gallon x 18 =$49.50 / 260 miles = $0.190 per mile
CNG @ $1.39per gallon x 18 = $25.02 / 240 miles = $0.104 per mile
So the LPG conversion might offer a savings of 1 to 2 cents per miles.
But the CNG would yield 10 cent per mile cost savings. It would cut you daily operating cost down by half.

Yes they are and they are the real Anderson(McCoy). Email him and ask him for a break on shipping if you order multiples. Also, I didn't realize, different colors only mate to the same color. You can't plug grey into red.

Looking at stuffing the 1kd-ftv lump into the 4Runner, if it's possible.
