I'll take "Jaxon's future wedding vows" for $800 Alex!

 

Cleaning time

 

Question is, for which wife?

 

I take him as a one size fits all type of guy, wife 1-10 get the same treatment

 

Ima 1 and done type of person. This ken don't work out Ima just be single

 

Pulled the mixer off the crawler. There are zero gaskets between the intake, throttle plate, adapter, or propane mixer. Hello vacuum leaks lmao

 

So it's either shoddy workmanship or precision aluminum parts... I know what my guess is

 

third option is maybe the original 22r gaskets between the throttle plate and intake completely dissolved due to the propane?

 

is that something propane does?

 

I'm not sure. Propane is a solvent though

 

I mean gasoline is too... maybe its more corrosive though

 

hmmmm

Prob just slap it together with some universal gasket maker paper and see how she goes I guess

 

R290 which is a propane based refrigerant isn’t compatible with some rubbers that are commonly found on other refrigeration things.

i think propane attacks the rubber and eats it

 

My land cruiser AC charged with propane...

 

Theres different blends. R290 and R600 are the common ones i see. They say to use dedicated propane hoses and not your regular hoses because it can eat the rubber

 

Yeeep

It even ate through the seals on the shaft that goes through the throttle plate. That's less urgent. I haven't been able to dig up the PN for those seals ...
I can ignore that for a while longer if I fix the bigger leaks lmao

Felpro ftw. Make your own fate

 

Huh neat, R290 from what I understand is literally just pure propane, not even with the smell added. I actually used a random other hydrocarbon blend I found online... it is cheap and works well enough.

 

Soon it'll be purring like a warehouse forklift

 

I hope so

I also have a rebuild kit for the regulator on the way. It seems to be working fine but I see a little oil buildup coming through the seal of the two halves of the housing.
