Re: R290 LPG Used in a Locomotive train
Dude, really?! Loads (like 10-20%) of vehicles carry 45kg of the stuff in the boot on a daily basis, plus an additional 60L of another hydrocarbon.
R290 is very (like very very very) miscible in lubricants, so pull a good vacuum for a decent period to ensure you suck it all out of the oil. The other thing that happens with BBQ Propane is the oil absorbs the ethyl mercaptan (the stench) from the gas. I'd put a burnout drier in if you can as the mercaptan can break down and release sulfonates into the system.
