Sam & Daniel, any 4, 6 or 8 cylinder conventional engine can be converted to run on propane (F150 or Ranger, don't matter), hope this helps.

Hi, I have a 97 Yukon Gt and am considering converting to a natural gas system. How do I calculate what my per litre cost would be for natural gas? Is there anwhere located near Newmarket Ontario that does conversions? Will my fuel mileage go down? Also, can diesel pick up trucks be converted to natural gas, is there significant savings? Regarding propane: Is propane not much more explosive making it dangerous in the event of a collision. Thanks so much

Lubo, where did you hear this? Nonsense! I don't understand logic why it would do that. If anything propane burns much much cleaner and it is better for your valves.

I currently live in Greece where fuel prices are ridiculously high. Liter of fuel here is currently 1.79 Euros which is probably over $2 dollars Canadian if you factor in the conversion rate. I have found this forum because I am interested in moving to Canada.
Here in Europe many automobiles are converted to what we call LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas). Any vehicle may be converted, aluminum cylinder head or not. The most important part is the tuning of the whole system. Generation 4 and generation 5 systems work with the stock ECM or engine control module. For those of you that are worried about the valves, there is a product called Flash Lube. I believe it is Australian but is widely used here in Europe. There are other valve care systems that may be used. Proper tuning and the use of flash lube or other additives to protect valves will guarantee years of use. In Europe everything from Mercedes to simple fleet vehicles are converted. The only thing to be cautious about is if the engine utilizes direct fuel injection. If this is the case the system that is to be used should be directly manufactured for you vehicle and more specifically your engine code.

Hi, I am driving a Jeep Commanche on loan from a friend who is laid up after a stroke so I can't ask him, it is propane powered and sounds like it has a leak after driving it for awhile, is this just the pressure dying down or an actual leak? I guess do propane powered cars normally make that sound.

I have had a propane ex ambulance for over 20 years. Forget propane. Auto propane in Canada has failed and most stations have closed. There is nobody to service the existing systems. Big oil loses money every time you fill with propane so no more propane!

I have a 1985 motorhome on a chevy 350. It is duel fuel (gas and propane). Lots of comments above about lack of propane filling stations, that is not my experience I have no problem finding stations both in Vancouver and in the southern part of province where I do most of my traveling. MY PROBLEM; it runs very well on gas however for the three years that I’ve owned it sometimes when I flip from propane to gas, the engine will stall and it might be months before I can get it to run on gas again! It always starts on propane, that is never an issue. I feel like it’s something that is happening during the flipping process.
From:
Kevin (5/28/2012 4:28:35 PM)
Comment:
cont. from above: I have a neutral position on my toggle switch. I believe I’m supposed to leave it in the neutral position until the engine starts to sputter and stall, then I quickly flip to the other fuel. When it works, it works extremely well. I know it’s not the gasoline (bad, old, etc.), I know that the gas tank has air in it because I’ve had the cap off several times in the last week or two. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.

here in the UK i have been converting cars to LPG for 17years the best advice i can give you is use BRC for upto V8 and ROMANO for V10 set them correctly and you will never have an issue always use multipoint system's and if your vehicle is old eg carbs then impco system known as single point.
dont bother with cheap systems I have tried too many over the years and the very best is BRC, ROMANO, OMVL, ZAVOLI the rest rubbish. I have many taxi's running on BRC systems and have covered over 350k miles with out an issue and still going strong.
soft valve issue yes an issue with HONDA's, Mitsubishi and most fords in UK/europe to over

to Domenic,I know you Domenic,you are one of the guys working for mississauga guys.when I was in your shop there were 2 other guys ,1 taxi and one gent. from London ,both complaining that eversince you installed the system they NEVER got your promised only 5 % greater propane consumption. WE all got 30 % higher propane then gas consumption.YOU ADVERTISED yourselves in toronto papers that your system is using ONLY 5 % more propane then gas.and for parts being stamped for approval? you never allow anybody into the shop and as well never show parts nor original boxes so do not state something you are NOT showing to the clients.

hey are not cheating in canada.just government is not letting people cut on gas emissions.they prefer polution .just 2 days ago news are published that emission tests did not provide less polution. see if people are charged 500-800 $ asin europe for propane conversion pollution would be cut in half immediately. NOT IN CANADA'S INTERESTS

Propane conversion costs more in Canada (especially Ontario) because we have the strictest rules in the world for conversions. The propane tanks used here will withstand gunshots (check youtube) and toroidal (spare tire) tanks are generally illegal.

To Kevin re: Motorhome w/350 dual fuel. It may be the switch over mechanism or carb/ignition. Either way don't let it get bad enough to backfire, mine did and it melted part of the propane throttle body. I'm in Saskatchewan, I love driving in BC with ours, if I lived there I'd only drive on propane, less cost and lots of stations.
