I wonder how many hours/minutes/? it runs on one throw-away cylinder?
I wonder if there is some kind of conversion you could do for a old gas powered outboard like mine.
On the bbq size metal tanks you just have to take them to a place that sells "Blue rhino" or another exchange place, bring in the empty tank get a shinier new one. I believe Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Walmart and almost everybody else sells them. The small camping size green size, if your local recycling wont take them the land fill will. I would probably get one of the fiberglass ones they are lighter, won't rust and should last longer.
Wonder if an A4 can convert to propane or, even better, CNG. Logically, CNG would be the perfect auxilliary fuel - low pollution, efficient, lighter than air, does not contain ethanol - if only it were available. --Steve
Do not, I repeat, Do not use Blue Rhino! They are ripping you off. They only fill the bottle 75-80% and then charge more for it than your local supplier that fills by weight. I cannot remember the exact numbers but you end up spending 50% more with Blue Rhino. Read the fine print and you will see. My local rental shop fills propane and pointed this out to me. I checked and he is right. Exchange is convenient but thats about all.

supposedly they are coming out with a 9.9 hp at the end of this yearI hope they come out w a slightly larger one say 8 to 10Hp. Sure would be nice to have one tank for the outboard and use it for a cookstove and or BBQ.
