Dual-Fuel Converted Vehicles that run on CNG

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.




  This is my BOV
2007 Ford Expedition 3″ suspension lift 35″ tires.
Converted to natural gas. So it’s dual fuel system now.
I fill it up at my house. It cost me around $0.6/ l on natural gas. Regular gas is $1.27 today. 
V-
Nice! I used to have a dual
fuel car as well when I lived in Argentina. Very cheap to run, and gasoline
prices in Argentina are just impossible for middle class, let alone poor
population. Most cars in Argentina run on CNG, over 75% of the vehicles on the streets.
It’s safe too when done properly and keeping up with maintenance. 
Dual fuel vehicles have the
advantage or having more fuel with both tanks full, it saves money and soon
pays for itself, and you have the flexibility of using either fuel, so if there
are gas shortages you can just as well keep running on NG. A truck like yours
is ideal because a common problem with CNG in smaller vehicles like the one I
had is that it ruins the suspension system due to the extra weight of the tank
and it leaves you almost no space in the trunk, so a truck is the best vehicle
for CNG conversion.
Warning though!
NG dries up the engine a
lot. Dont try to save too much money and put some normal gasoline through it
once a week, maybe just 10 minutes but do run it some on gasoline to avoid
serious and expensive problems on the long run.
A common problem with
injection engines is that since NG goes through injector sprays easier than
gasoline they eventually get clogged or restricted by a buildup of fuel varnish
deposits. Its like a wax or paraffin deposit that eventually restricts the
injector entirely so one day you find that maybe one cylinder isnt working at
all, or working poorly.
To avoid this put some
injector cleaner in your gasoline and as I said before, run it for 10 minutes
once a week or so, which also lubricates the otherwise dry engine.
Take care!
