You mention that you have driven for three days, but how much mileage does that equal?

here we go guys, as promised, update and fresh pics of the propane conversion kit install.

had 3 tank fill ups -system works amazing, the fuel consumption is not bad :

approx 20-21L/100kms on city/highway;

approx 26-27/100kms city/downtown/traffic



87 l tank lasts 360-410kms and then automaticly switches to gas, there is a propane gauge installed on the dash to monitor the level of propane left in the tank.

i have covered propane tank with custom made box and wrapped with black carpet- its same size as sound boombox and still leaves plenty of space inside for other cargo.

i love the savings - guys no hard feelings but there is a definate way of driving a hummer h2 for the cost of toyota corrolla.so far letre is 63 cents and you get full service on 15 gta stations.

here is some pics

if you need info on the place who can get you this conversion done PM me for it - it requires a phone call to get dealer discount

I just got my 2004 H2 converted to a duel-fuel propane set-up! So far I am extremely impressed. When starting the truck it begins on gas and when it warms up it seamlessly switches to propane. Power feels the same, sounds the same. Impressed with paying only 0.569/L! Prior to conversion I was paying around $150.00/week to drive 650km/week to and from work, now I am paying only $75.00/week using propane! This is around the same or slightly cheaper than driving a mid size car to work!

I just got a 97Ford F250 dedicated CNG truck. Given to me by my next door nieghbor who is moving. Needs work but im going to try and get it fixed up and going over the winter. There are only 3 fill stations in the gta for the CNG which can be an issue and i had thought about converting it to propane. Shouldn't be to hard. Just a different regulator.Because it was a dedicated truck it only runs on cng but the valves are hardened and othwer changes to the motor have already been optimized from factory for CNG so it will run propane well i think.

I have it in the shop now and have removed the interior for cleaning and now im working on getting the rear box out as it will be a flat bed when i am done. So im going to lift up the tanks rmove the box and put the tanks back down. I had to build a cable lift setup to lift the tanks.
