Just be aware we use slightly different LPG to U.S.. TMK there's is mainly propane while ours is a mix of butane and propane..

Some time back I was talking to a B double driver, I noticed his truck had just re-fuelled with both LPG and diesel..

I asked him how it goes with LPG ? Said it saves him $2000 [a month ?] on fuel..

On his rig it only operates on cruise or light engine load / boost..
It has thermocouple to measure exhaust temp also..

Yes and no
Some sell pure propane and some of it is mixed
In the end it really doesn't make much difference
