Not so at all.  Propane will start when gas or diesel will not.  I have a 
10K propane
on a 500 gal. horizontal tank  Yes, mucho surface area.  It starts fine  in 
the teens or
20ies.  But, and this is a big BUT,  you must have a hot battery.  These 
engines now
have a low oil pressure cut off.  The starter MUST get some rpm's for the 
oil.  NO
hand crank.  Also it will run at 8.5K on natural gas with no change.  The 
fuel never
gets old.  73 Josh   N4VB
