older rig with new engine

i believe the tanks would be too large and heavy, buy i dont know for sure. when you convert a car you must install heavier springs in the rear as the tanks are usually mounted in the trunk. also i believe a diesel must run on a 60/40 mixture but a gasoline engine can run on 100% cng

 

pure bio diesel is supposed to burn cleaner also from what i hear

 

When my truck gets outlawed, I'll quit....

 

It cost 10 grand to convert a pick up.

 

A gas pickup would be about $1500 if you do the work yourself and find used tanks. Is that 10g for a diesel? ive got the garage and tools maybe i need to park and convert cng stuff

 

LNG ain't yanking these heavy loads.

 

Lower milage from LNG

Harder too find fueling stations.

I forget what else.

BIO Fuel is susposed too be all that. But from what I under stand it doesn't work well in winter.

 

I really doubt that would happen, the states will outlaw the truck before the feds step in.

 

1- an LNG converted engine needs spark plugs, so yes it would cost more than $20,000 considering most inframes cost more than that now.
2- yes they can pull heavy loads, Vedder Transport in Abbotsford BC runs a fleet pulling 140,000# up and down the Fraser Canyon to Cache Creek BC as well as a local milk fleet
3- LNG refueling sites are popping up all over the place, Flying J has them all over Canada and the US
4- LNG converted engines start on diesel and switch to LNG once they reach operating temp

Edit:
5- CNG is Natural gas in a gas state whereas LNG is Natural gas compressed to where is liquified and Therefore stores much more efficiently.
