Here is the John Muller propane coach in Orgn.

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

Tanks in the pod, propane fill at the OEM propane tank, built his own
propane injector, also has water injection.

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.
