Hi
Not really a problem. Cabelas was out and will not carry 1 gallon
size in the Dundee location anymore. So Instead of dragging around
fuel and propane I thought I would switch to 1 fuel source if
possible. Also want to use the propane in the belly tank of the westy
as well. So Im looking for a "T" or Manifold or something that will
allow me to use this fuel so not to drag around a bunch of green mini
bottles or a 10 Pound tank.
Also Per gallon of camp fuel is about 16 bones and I have to deal
with storage and transfer of fuel. Not that I cant do it I just was
hoping to make it a all in 1 gig.
Thanks Jonce
