 Subject: R/T running on propane LPG
IP: Logged
Message:
I want to convert my 2000 r/t with 65,000 miles on it to run off propane from a tank mounted in the bed but I can not find any info for converting later models to propane.
Anyone know where i can find info and how much it cost?
Propane is about $2.00 a gallon here where i live and I dont think it is going to go up much unlike the gasoline that is $4.60 a gallon now and gong up every day, Ive been obsesed with this idea for a couple months now, I love my r/t but i dont want to have to park it and get a 4 cylinder like my dumb brother is allways telling me to.....

I did a quick search, but didn't come up with any conversion kits for cars or trucks. I would call the local LP dealer in your area and see if has any suggestions.

Another Gotcha! Maybe someone is working on it, but I have yet to see a propane conversion kit for a fuel-injected engine, just carbs.

Here in Canada there are conversions available for LP and CNG. I have a 2000 4.7 that is a dual fuel gasoline/CNG.
Eco Fuel Systems made the natural gas kit that I have. They have a web site. They do both LP and CNG.
My system has it's own computer that ties in with the PCM for sensor inputs and then it runs another set of 8 natural gas injectors that are plumbed to the intake manifold.
I refuel at home for about $0.35/liter using a home refueling appliance that I lease from my local gas utility.
Currently I have 278000 kilometers an my truck and it runs well on natural gas.
Hope this helps.

What is the name of their website? Do they have conversion kits for other engines like a 318 or 360? What is the cost of the conversion and what is your mileage and power like on propane?

Here's their web;
http://www.ecofuel.com/
They do both propane and natural gas.
They have installation centers in the US as well as Canada.
Another company here in Canada is Yugotech
