I told him I put preservative in the gas and he said it might preserve the gas put it still plugs the jets. LP gas does not do that, it produces no carbon to make the oil dirty and you do not have to worry about carbon monoxide.
I agree with you about most of the advantages of using LP or natural gas except that you most certainly DO have to worry about CO with LP or any fuel fired appliances. I spend over 40 years in public safety and I can assure you that we have had fatalities from CO poisoning using LP or natural gas appliances. I can think of a family of two parents and two children who died that way that come quickly to my mind. Be happy AND safe!
