I read that thread earlier but there was already good advice that I didn't feel I could improve on.

Now to your current problem.

Couple of questions first.

Do farmers dry there own grain in your area? If yes "wet lines" are common in your area and the dealer is giving you a shuck and jive. I don't know of a grain dryer that runs on vapor tank withdrawel. Might also be that the dealer doesn't want to do the plumbing. To do things according to Hoyle will cost about $1000 with a hand pump and the plumbing (no tank).

Do you live near a poplulated area? If not and you can get a tank with liquid withdrawel you can run a line from the tank to the tractor and then vent the vapor off the tractor. NOTE this process needs to be approached with care as you are venting a explosive gas to the air (BOOM).

Now for a couple of tips on getting set up.

Get a tank with liquid withdraw as mentioned earlier. Should have a dip tube and the liquid is pulled from the top. I know the instructions for KRUG hand pumps tell you to pull the liquid from the bottom but don't do it. There is a grease like sediment that settles out of lp and it will create all sorts of havoc with your convertor and carb, and the stuff stinks to high heaven. Been there, done that, and have the t-shirt to prove it.

Did your dealer look at your situation or just sit at their desk in a air conditioned office and say we don't do that? Try getting someone out to look at your tank. Or shoot a picture of the valve setup on it and post here. Also confirm whether you own your tank or not. If you own the tank have another dealer look at it.

I have refereed to Krug pumps so I enclosed a link to their website. This is to the Hand pump they handle all sorts of LP stuff and will recomend a dealer in your area.

Sorry my post got so long. Just trying to relate enough to get you started.

If you decide this is too complicated and want to replace that Ford I wouldn't mind adding one to my stable. No fords in it yet!!
