Here is the John Muller propane coach in Orgn.

This is an early conversion that John did himself, when the coach was almost
new.

Dave.
  When I sold my EL 2 in 85 thru a dealer, it was converted to dual fuel. At that time there wasn't any sales tax on propane powered vehicles. The tank was changed to a dual outlet tank [vapour & liquid]. It would go about 80 mi. on propane & then switch back to gas. So maybe there were 2 in Canada.

I still show Graham with 4 GMCs but none were noted as propane powered.
I'll double check with Graham.
