    Propane tank change -no start Genie Z45

    Got a new one in my journey to understand my Z45. Unit was running fine but I needed more fuel [propane]. Took the tank off and had it filled at a reputable supplier. Re-installed and it ran for about 3 minutes and cut off -sounded like fuel starvation. Cranks but won't start now. Air in the...

    LPG vs Propane -Z45 Genie lift

    Just bought a Genie lift [Z45] with dual fuel capability. it has 578 hours on it and is currently using a LPG tank as the fuel source. Runs good and I think I want to continue with that fuel arrangement but the local gas suppliers say propane is just as good as LPG but I'm skeptical. I know...
