Ah hell, I guess the damned tank pressure will prevent the fuel from doing
any kind of pre-reg vaporising. That's too bad, it's gets awful hot
crawling around at 5mph through the woods.

You need to evaporate a significant amount of propane per unit time to
make this work. That would be much more than could be used by any vehicle
carburetor, especially crawling around at 5 mph and using minimal fuel. If
you put the heat-absorbing part of your LPG plumbing inside the cab, you
would receive some benefit, but hardly enough to make it worth your while.
An air conditioning system, which you could install instead, uses a
recycling, compressible fluid, and inputs a significant amount of
horsepower. If you do the heat transfer equations, this translates to
gallons and gallons of propane, or whatever fluid you want to use, per hour.
There is really no free lunch here.

That's not how propane systems work, they never did, and you know it.
No one ever died from a propane freeze up and you admitted you lied
about it before. I think you are really Bill Clinton maybe.

Good information on Propane is hard to find in the US right now.
Nolff's put out a good book but they were bought by Woodward. They may
have some left. Larry Carley wrote a book, Jay Storer wrote another.
Use interlibrary loan or eBay.
