Running on Gas. Help!

   Thanks for your thoughts Zarniwhoop.  Do you have any knowledge as to wether an oil injection 2 stroke will operate satisfactorily on gas?  Does the gas transport the lubricant to the important little places in he same way as  petrol?
(I am sure that the older petroil mix engines cannot be made to operate  on gas as there will be no way to introduce or mix the lubricant satisfactorily or practicably.)
Any idea on what installation /rental costs likely to be for a tank?

	Bob, just to take Country wide as an example, I don't think that they charge for installation, but you would have to prepare your site to their requirements; concrete pad, at least 3m from another building, 32amp single phase electric supply, and so on. From there it is £37.50 a quarter for a 2000lt tank on an annual contract, plus the cost of the gas. Oil injection 2st on gas depends on how good the oil injection system is in the first place. If it mixes oil with petrol just by dribbling it into the incoming fuel, then no. If it is sprayed into the crankcase by a little pressure pump on the engine, then probably yes. Pre-mix 2st you're right... forget it, but you will probably phase those out soon anyway!
