Not so at all. Propane will start when gas or diesel will not. I have a
10K propane
on a 500 gal. horizontal tank Yes, mucho surface area. It starts fine in
the teens or
20ies. But, and this is a big BUT, you must have a hot battery. These
engines now
have a low oil pressure cut off. The starter MUST get some rpm's for the
oil. NO
hand crank. Also it will run at 8.5K on natural gas with no change. The
fuel never
gets old. 73 Josh N4VB
