I have a brand new LRG-425 Propane powered engine.
Since propane is only $2.19 a gallon here I am thinking of installing it in a 1998-2001 Ranger with 5 speed trans. Emissions is not a problem in my state. It is exempt. It is complete with the Ignition ECU. It does not need a fuel management ECU since it will have the correct IMPCO MODEL CA100 CARBURETOR.
The K&N air filter was put on to protect the intake.
Here is the Engine Rating:
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (corrected per SAE J1995)
Fuel Specification........................HD-5
Rated Power @ 3600 RPM............Intermittent: 84 HP (62 kW)
Continuous: 72 HP (54 kW)
Peak Torque @ 1800 RPM............Intermittent: 133 Ft. Lbs. (180 Nm)
Continuous: 113 Ft. Lbs. (153 Nm)
Power @ 1800 RPM......................Intermittent: 45 HP (34 kW)
Continuous: 38 HP (28 kW
I will be using it to commute to work and I think 84 hp will be fine.
The ASME approved fuel tank is roughly $1,000.00 But I would would rather be safe so I feel the price is not to out of line.
I was told this industrial engine will bolt right up in a 1998-2001 Ranger.
Is there anyone on this forum that did a conversion like this? Or knows any other forum that has info.
