[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1958868, member: 3099"] Yep ethanol is the debil. I don't touch it if I have a choice. I also had a '79 F150 4X4 with an 85 gallon LPG tank in the back. I was building a 400CI with 4V 351 Cleveland heads for it specifically for the propane. It would have been killer, but life happened and I moved to kommiefornia and there was no way in hades I was going to try to get that one in their state. Even with the LPG there was no way because all of the emission controls had been taken off. Wouldn't have passed the visual inspection so they wouldn't have even considered testing the tailpipe. Retards... I think you are talking about LPG. I could go for a long time on the truck I had with it. I just saw a new Tundra 4X4 with a big white tank in the bed yesterday. It just doesn't make sense from a fuel cost standpoint today, at least for me. Yes there are more stations popping up all the time too. Chesapeake is diverting a billion dollars from their drilling budget to build fueling infrastructure on the the interstate system. I have a fueling station right on the corner about 1/2 mile from my house. From what I was seeing last night from a quick look, it seems that Oklahoma is booming and becoming the nation's leader in the CNG conversion market. It's going to catch on big time if they keep the tax credits in place. The Feds let theirs drop in 2011. I saw a post online last night that with the state tax rebate and the rebate from ONG that the net cost for the home fueling station is basically free. The current price per gge fueling at home is .59 cents. .59 cent fuel! I haven't seen that since before I was legal driving age! That's playing a big role in my thinking. I'm wanting to convert a 2006 F150 4X4 with a 5.4 Triton. I'm sure you can see why. lol If I can get into one for 5 to 6K I'll probably do it. The conversion places are a miracle in and to themselves. They have to pay $100,000 to the feds for each specific engine they get certified on. And they have to pay it yearly! :faint: So do they want to promote it or not? Me thinks not. Thanks to the state for getting this one right and to ONG. [/QUOTE]
