Somebody was calling into a talk show today and said he had a F-150 that ran on natural gas and cost him something like the equivalent of $1 a gallon. Can we do it too? What is involved I wonder.

 

I remember seeing an LP conversion for a Chevy silver ado in the back of an auto trader once... maybe they have them for more?

 

I am sure we can beings that there are Civics and Cobalts with the kits in the DC area. I am assuming they have a kit beings they have stickers saying "Run By Natural Gas" or something like that

Looks decently legit for $800, http://www.ewsews.com/cngprices.html

 

used to be ford made a crown vic natural gas version. I looked at the specs and remember a terrible range and you had to go to the gas/utility company to refill. weak.

 

The new Ram 2500 work truck is going to have an option to come from the factory with this coversion. It was on the news feed for DF recently.

 

It's a very expensive aftermarket conversion. Everything has to be cleaned and repolished first (heads, pistons, cyls.). And anything that gets carboned or oily (pcv lines, egr lines, etc). Pretty labor intensive. $800 doesn't sound legit to me. Those nat gas vehichles come new from the factory, they are not aftermarket conversions.

 

$800.00 for the kit only.....then you need a tank and that is like $1200.00 or more, plus you need a certified shop to do your convertion and God only knows how much that would be!!!
