factory CNG engine internals were the same as gas engines But fuel delivery was all different

I actualy went to a class on CNG vans for Chrysler , only saw 2 at the dealers I worked at

Propane was put in with 97kms on the OD

Thanks for the reply m8. Oh I'm in Edmonton Alberta (thats Canada Eh!!) lmao


It's just an add on adapter that the Impco 300 sits on. Like so... Thanks for the reply Regards Vern


Since the propane is liquid until it gets to the regulator, wouldn't the fuel lines be the same as well?
Nothing wrong with the LPG system. There are only three places in the city I can get propane. None after 8pm. It gets to minus 40 here. Propane and (extreme) cold = frustration
Van sat for over 5 years. Propane sticker is out of date. I've been turned away on E and that sucks *****. I have gas lawnmowers and generators. Always a spare jerry can handy if I run out of gas. Back on road in five mins. Only thing that runs on propane besides the van is the bbq and hauling around a 20lb propane tank and that "clank against every thing" mammoth hose adapter gets a tad bit more irritating every day lmao. Back on road in 2 hours ...if lucky. I may be just getting old and cranky but standing on the side of the road when it's minus 30 holding a 20 lb propane upside down on one of the deadliest highways in Canada while the propane drips into the tank at a Sloths pace is not as fun as it used to be. (Actually ended up just making my own propane hose and if I run out I just remove the fuel line and attach the BBQ tank directly...Now back on road in under 20.... brilliant I know right?) And I'll tell you what m8. I'll send you the vaporizer, regulator, solenoid etc... for the price of shipping and a gas tank. So if you can somehow get me one to redneck....i mean "oil country" Alberta I'll send you the works. Even tradsies OR I'll go get a second hand tank and sell it all to you for that price plus you pay the shipping. I paid 125 just for the rebuild kit. I believe the Model E goes for around 300 Canadian with lock off and solenoid and the 300 goes for a bit more. That is new of course. 50 bucks for the tank max and what ever shipping would be .... 20 -30 more I would think depending on locale. So good deal for you either way. No? lol.
Edit: Oh and that is CND so 50 bucks is like what 30 cents or so USD? Bahahahha lol
Regards Vern

sorry for the slow reply, the propane systems i've dealt with had a dual wall hose so to speak a hose inside a hose as you need a vapor return back to the tank
