[Jack & Donna Smith]

Yeah Hank. That is not just Australia....
When we were in the Netherlands a few years ago, we had a 626 Mazda
that was "Dual Fueled", that is it had both a Gasoline tank, and a
Propane tank, with just a switch on the dash to choose which was desired..
At least I think it was Propane...They called it Auto-Gas...
