I missed the beginning, but you guys are arguing for the sake of arguing
now. You both know that these 2 engines/scenarios are completely
non-comparable. Gasoline truck vs natural gas stationary unit. Haha.

Curiosity forces me ask what type of engine is this ex pumping unit?
Our LPG Olds 455 unit sings a sweet tune in that app, altho it is far from
efficient with today's low pressure irrigation.  The Continental flathead
unit sits with a hole in the block.
