Alternative Fuel Vehicle Conversion
Our Certified Technicians Are Ready to Serve You Now!

Yes!   We can convert your existing, gasoline powered vehicle to run on one of the cleanest alternative fuels available - PROPANE. You can choose to either convert your vehicle to run solely on propane or dual-fuel, where your gasoline system is still operational and with a simple flick of a switch, you can revert back to gasoline.

BENEFITS
     Propane is an approved alternative clean fuel, per the Clean Air Act, propane gas is nontoxic with minimal emissions and is not harmful to soil or water, it is released as a gas and does not spill, pool or leave a residue.  There is almost no carbon in LPG; carbon is what turns your engine oil black.  Propane is very stable at varying temperature ranges and has a remarkable safety record.  LPG goes into your engine as a vapor, there is no "raw" fuel entering the cylinders which washes the lubricating oil off the cylinder walls so the piston rings stay better lubricated, resulting in many LPG fueled engines lasting up to THREE TIMES LONGER than the same engine on gasoline!

Vehicles running on propane have the longest range of any alternative fuel.

Converting your gasoline powered vehicle to LPG may qualify you for Federal and State agency tax credits.

FACTS
     With a few modifications to the engine, virtually any gasoline engine can be converted to run on LPG. Vehicles can be equipped to operate solely on LPG (dedicated conversion) or to switch between LPG and gasoline (dual-fuel conversion). The "under hood" components of the LPG system are almost indistinguishable from the factory components under the hood.

      LPG tanks fit compactly into car trunks, or in some cases where the gasoline tank has been removed, the tank(s) can be mounted where the gasoline tanks were previously mounted. In trucks and vans, LPG tanks can be installed inside the cargo bed or under the vehicle.  LPG tanks are tested to a minimum 4 times normal operating pressures and are 20 times more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks.

      Like gasoline, LPG is flammable but has a much narrower range of flammability. LPG has a much higher ignition temperature of 920-1020 degrees vs. 80-300 degrees for gasoline. LPG will only burn with an air-fuel ratio of between 2.2% and 9.6% and will rapidly dissipate beyond its flammability range in the open atmosphere, making ignition less likely. 

COST
     Conversion costs vary according to vehicle type.

TURNAROUND TIME
    Typical vehicle conversion turnaround time will be one week from the time you deliver your vehicle to our shop.

FLEETS

      Fleet operators realize distinct economic advantages over conventional gasoline and diesel fuels. Battelle Memorial Institute found that propane is the most economic alternative fuel for fleets (on a per-mile basis) when operating, ownership, and infrastructure costs are considered.

      Operating costs associated with propane fleets typically range from 20 - 40% less than those of gasoline-operated fleets. From an economic perspective, propane is the most cost-effective alternative to conventional transportation fuels when capital costs (vehicle and infrastructure) and operation and maintenance costs are all taken into consideration. Of all available alternative fuels, it also offers the best mix of vehicle driving range, durability, and performance.

      The up-front costs of propane fleet vehicles can be offset by lower operating and maintenance costs over the lifespan of the vehicles. The time it takes for these savings to offset capital costs (payback period) depends on vehicle usage patterns specifically the average distance traveled monthly or annually. Fleet vehicles typically travel long distances and have very high fuel consumption, so the payback period on propane fleet vehicles can be very reasonable.
      

SAVINGS
      Since 90% of the U.S. propane supply is produced domestically, the price of propane remains more stable and less susceptible to rising prices due to speculators and our dependenc on foreign oil. And with the larget storage capacity in the world, the United States' supply is abundant.
      You may also notice lowered maintenance costs since LPG leaves less residual deposits in the engine, reducing wear and tear on engine parts. You will also find savings as your oil stays cleaner, requiring less-frequent changes, saving you time, money, oil and oil filters!

INCENTIVES
    State and Federal agencies have implemented tax credits for certain qualified vehicle conversions. Because these incentives and tax credits are apt to change, we are providing links below for you to visit and retrieve the most updated information from these agencies:
