We already have a small LNG infrastructure for bus and fleet usage and a containerized infrastructure for forklifts and such (and patio bar-b-ques). I'm not sure about how we use LPG here. But since I only see it in train tankers and big trucks, I would guess it is used mainly in industrial processes. But I could easily be wrong about that. xponent More Stuff Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
