Jeffery (and everyone else!)
Please be extremely careful with the propane!! Propane is HEAVIER than air
and will collect in any low spot around. Remember those boating movies where
the boat blows someone up when they turn on a light? Not fiction.
Propane is very flamable, explosive. I wouldn't want your radiator fan to
come on while you were checking for vacuum leaks!
