I have been dealing with an intermittent no start issue for about 2 months now. The first no start, i swapped the propane tanks and it fired right up and ran fine.
A couple no starts after that, it start and would run on a small shot of ether. Holding throttle wide open I could crack the propane tank open and it would stay running no problem. Currently, it only runs on ether. Will not pick up the propane. Electronic Lock of verified good. Cleaned up some tar from the inline fuel filter and disassembled, cleaned up fuel converter as tar build up was present. Still no start, acting like a fuel pressure issue but this truck is a bit of a different bread concerning the fuel system and has me stumped. Any ideas would be helpful as both myself and our local service shop/technician are stumped.

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
