try talking to www.gotpropane.com and see what they can set you up for. It'll cost probably about 500-750 I think. That's about what it cost for my sammi.

"These are for offroad vehicles only. Please do not call us about your car, S.U.V., minivan, or newer truck (after 86). We do not sell these conversions and don't know anyone who does!
Why cant we do newer vehicles?
The computer systems in fuel injected vehicles do not work with the propane systems. Our kits are designed to eliminate wiring. There is no way to make a newer vehicle work without tampering with the computer. By law it is illegal to tamper with a newer vehicle to make a street legal conversion. The computers control ignition timing, auto transmissions, and emissions control. We don't have a way to certify our kits either. It is tens of thousands to get a kit certified. And it only covers the one model and engine size. So it is not legal, very complicated , and very expensive to do. " from the gotpropane website...
also.. from the gotpropane.com
Will not go bad
Burns clean
Requires no maintenance
Is easy to install
Is very safe
Rates at 100-110 octane
Automatically compensates for altitude
Prolongs engine life
Is affordable
No wiring except the on/off solenoid.
Propane is not harmful to soil or water

how exactly does it work?
i mean, is it comparable to regular gas gallons?
so like, its 3.15 for a gal of gas, how much is it for propane? and does it use the same amount of the gas?

Thats interesting I would have thought it would have needed to be different.
This whole thread is very informative I always thought that you could only convert a diesel I didn't know you could convert gasoline to propane.

look forward to the spec/pics!
and im green when it comes to trucks and wrenching, but here is what i know..
If you have a diesel... propane injection gives a lot more HP and gives u a cleaner burn and you burn more of the fuel that goes into the combustion area (a good thing)
Propane is a biproduct of making natural gas (useing petrolium just like normal gasoline) so the price of propane shadows the price gasoline
If you convert over to 100% propane power, u will loss some say around 10% HP
If you convert over to 100% propane the stuff that comes out of your tailpipe is much cleaner
If you convert over to 100% propane your engine oil stays much cleaner longer and doesnt break up as fast
this is what ive found out while researching. I may be a little off on some of this and keep in mind some of the sites i got this info are trying to sell propane kits or being green (treehuggers)
Also, anyone here really into taxes? if someone did convert over to propane would they get a tax credit? if so how much??

I use natural gas in my ranger
hello guys!
this is my first post in this forum.
i'm a brazillian ranger owner and here petrobras, the state petroil company, had installed many gas stations along brazil's southest providing natural gas for vehicles, or what we call here, GNV - gas natural for vehicles.
(sorry for the terrible english!)
what ford started to do this year was to offer an optional GNV kit for standard gasoline rangers, for single & double cabin. diesel rangers does not accept GNV.
you buy the GNV kit from a distributor/installer that ford indicates, pay about US$ 3000 directly to them and ford and this distributor/installer gives you 2 years of plenty waranty for engine, just like for the other car parts.
that's cool here because 1m3 of GNV costs about half (US$ 0,60) of 1 liter of gasoline (US$ 1,20) and we can road the same distance, about 10 km/l or 10km/m3.
the kit comes with a 25m3 cilynder and some engines, installled on the back of the truck. it occupies about 1/3 of the space of a double cabin back... that sucks!
I can provide further info if you want...
a curiosity: do you have GNV there in US? at what price?
cheers!
