I'm building a traction unit that will be a tool carrier and hydraulic power unit for forestry and farm operations.
The engines are honda gx family electric start, often with recoil backup.
The machine will often be stationary and close to people, at times in covered but not confined spaces.... Fuel Spills could be very very problematic (think national park). These things make me ask if propane is a good fit.
The properly configured Hondas run propane no problem so my main concerns are :
Starting reliability in low Temps
Sensitivity to rugged terrain
Thanks for sharing your experience
