      lpg?

      Anyone running lpg in their pt or other vehicle, I've been looking into it, but there doesn't really seem to be much of a presence in the states for it. Has anyone else considered or done a similar conversion?

      I have been running propane as my only fuel on my daily driven 71 Bronco. I off road it a lot and drive it on 5000 mile road trips. In this vehicle I love it. Getting fuel in Canada is easy and its 1/2 the price of gas. In the U.S. its a little harder to find and not that much cheaper than gas from what I have seen. You will lose about 10% horsepower with just a system swap. If you build the engine for propane HP loss will be less. My system is the older mech/vac type ,the newer electronic inj. systems should be more efficient. Considered using it for my 69 Torino build but I will stick to gas.

      I worked with this company for awhile. They specialize in LPG and CNG conversions for gasoline engines.
