I 1st saw this, in I think 2017 in the Dominican Republic. All the cars - new and old were burning propane. All the fueling stations, had an attendee who would ask; gas or propane or both. I was amazed; a developing country was already using propane like that.
Wayne this is my favorite video on TH-cam
Hank Hill I thought you might like it 👍
😂😂
its great wayne, i just purchased a F250 that is propane powered.
Thanks for the LPG dual-fuel video. I would like to see you interview an LPG install mechanic about the technical details under the hood. Nice video.
In Poland LPG is most popular. We use "italian dish" to refueling a tank.
This is probably one of the best and most simple videos describing a propane car.
I just bought a crown vic that runs this same system. It was explained to me by the fleet manger I got it from that the system fools the factory ford computer into thinking it’s running off gas. The electronics for the system simply “piggy backs” off the ford computer. Removing requires removing the electronics(looks like about a dozen wires that tap into the ford harness) and yanking the tank, lines, injectors, etc. I can tell no difference in the way the car runs and drives weather it’s on gas or propane. One huge benefit to me is that on propane you get less engine wear. Car has 70k miles and the oil stays brown between changes.
Is that after market? Have you had any issues?
What is the cost of propane where you live? It's not that much cheaper. What does it cost to convert a vehicle to propane Possibly you could do à video about converting one over with the cost breakdown. Thanks!😊
alot of Falcons (Australias version of a Crown Vic) run on LPG / Propane here in Australia
How much will a tank a propane last? Approximately how many miles per tank?
Thanks
@Wayne's Country Living Answer this man
in my lpg cvpi its a 90 litre propane tank i can go about 450 km (280 miles) pure city driving. Highway i can go about 650 km (400 miles)

Great thanks Wayne.
Hi i like you propane car that is an awesome setup you have on you company car my question is
What would it cost to convert my 1998 fleetwood bounder motorhome engine to run on propane. Can you point me in the right direction i live in east orlando.
I don't know why propane has never caught on. I had a brother-in-law that worked for a propane company 25 years ago and yes he ran his pickup on propane back then.
+Joe Nolting It's a money racket
2.67 Acre Homestead in Russia half the cars have propane my family included
Probably because there is too much money already invested into conventional fuel sources, the owners of such investments have significant political clout in the seats of power
Is that the LPG stations you have to look for .?
So at a tail gate party can ya plug your grill in to your car ?
+Theredneck Prepper I have never really thought about that before but If you had the proper fittings yes, but you would have to make sure that you were tapping into the vapor port not the liquid port. I think you just gave me an idea for a new project, I think I might try that.
+Wayne's Homestead Sounds like a November prepper challenge entry! lol
No the trunk is converted into a grill.. 👍
How do I get one of those gauges
What if you run out of propone can
Where is your company based and can they convert a 2018 Chevy Cruze LT 1.4 L gas? If so send me some contact info
where did you get your set-up ? What is the approx cost ?
My employer bought that car already converted but the total cost is anywhere around $1500.00 - $5000.00 depending on the type of vehicle. However, right now where I am at the cost of gasoline is $2.49 per gallon while Propane motor fuel is $1.65 per gallon. So eventually it will save you money in the long run.
in Australia we had a rebait - my car cost $46 all up to convert - although im paying that back in a charge of 13c/L tax (petrol is 40c/L tax though)
$15000 its ok make sense but to pay $5000 doesn’t make any sense to switch to propane in my country maximum cost $1000
Whats a basic price for a ford f-150, 1996?
Why can't the car be warmed up on propane? Is there a heat issue?
The vaporizer needs the heat of the engine coolant to work ( convert lpg to vaporized propane).
What happens when you run out
What's the fuel economy hit with LP? I know it's energy density is quite a bit lower than that of 87 Octane. I'd assume it's anywhere from 25-50% worse fuel economy.
No, no, no! Depending on where you're driving, you'll have to take about 10-20% worse fuel economy into account.
When just coasting at say 50 mph, it'll be closer to 10%, on the highway or in the city, it'll be about 20%. I don't know about the U.S., but since autogas is like 3 times cheaper than gasoline in Europe, it definitely pays off.
108 octane
There are a lot of negative issues. Hot weather problems, fueling issues. I drive them a lot. One word for the best reason to not convert : reliability.
Taylor Richard I have driven one everyday for 12 years and have never had a problem. A lot of times it depends on the conversion kit, some work great and others are not worth anything.
How so? Obviously, not every engine is made for autogas... some aren't even really made to run very long on gasoline until you're facing valve problems etc... but Dodge and RAM for example have been offering the 5.7 HEMI (V8) with autogas for a very long time now, and their engine can handle it very well! It's super reliable!
Same with a lot of Volvo cars and Opel (Buick) / (smaller European) Chevy's.
Kia's 3.3 V6 in the 2007-2009 Sorento for example, was a horrible engine for autogas. RAM for example gives you flashlube for free (so the valves stay lubricated), even though the HEMI doesn't even need it. Autogas is a great alternative! :)
Engine last longer on propane gas than natural gas.
Man the mic in your camera is shot, thats some nasty static !
LPG rulez, i have a van that runs on it i spend nothing in fuel
About many hwy miles per gallon would you say you get
@@1NeoSoulChild you get the same as in gasoline the advantage is the LPG price wich in my country at least is less than half of gasoline per liter
@@elcheapotravel5914 okay. I definitely hope the bus I'm buying gets good mileage
i have a video of my car and its set up on my channel
I'll check that out
