No offense taken, just a little frustration that money and time may be wasted on solutions that do not Apply to a liquid propane motor fuel system. The owner is talking spending money on a "kit" and an overhaul of the converter, while he states that it runs fine for about 5 min if he heats the converter. That tells me that nothing is wrong with it except no warm coolant is getting to the vaporizer portion of the converter which is what is supposed to heat it constantly. spending $100 plus on a converter kit and overhaul is a total waste of time and money.
What happens is when a liquid propane converter "freezes up" is not that internal passages are being blocked by ice in contaminated fuel, but simply that without hot coolant to constantly replace the heat absorbed when propane changes phase from a liquid to a vapor inside the converter, the entire converter cools to the point that little propane vapor is created and the engine stalls from lack of propane vapor fuel. The freeze up name comes from the fact that a "frozen up" converter is cooled to a temperature well below 0 by the liquid to vapor conversion of the propane and any moisture in the air quickly forms a thich coating of frost on the outside of the converter. All he needs to do is fix that no coolant to the vaporizer problem. There, I feel better now puff puff puff. :-)

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
