Natural Gas Ranger??

At least in PA and Ohio, you will be able to fill up at several local gas stations soon.

My point is not the total smart ass. Compare that figure to the cost of any component on the fuel system of a gasoline vehicle and tell me its not expensive. That single component is as much as a set of tires. Sorry, but that is expensive to maintain compared to a gasoline system on my calculator.

Woh bro I was just messin with you! I agree with you, I was just showing the other end of the spectrum. If you want a reliable factory system without the compuvalve, the F-150 quit using them for most of 2003 and all of 2004. Chebbys don't use them at all, but they have other quirks with their systems.
Sorry if I offended you with my attempt at being witty...

No offense taken, just poking back at you. No worries.

Isn't there too little energy in natural gas? Maybe propane?

we run our house of natural gas generators. it isent as strong as propane but still potent

My F-150 looses about 10% power between unleaded and natural gas.

I've done a lot of conversions, mainly on forklifts (over 100), both propane and CNG. We've found that a stock compression conversion will usually net about 10-15% loss of power. The best thing to take advantage of the high octane of either of these fuels is to build a high compression motor (12:1 or so, depending on the fuel). With a motor built specifically for the fuel you want to run, you can build as much, if not more power than a similar sized gasoline motor. You still get the benefits of the cheaper fuel and even better fuel mileage then you would with the low compression engine.

I know this is an old thread but is your F150 a factory or aftermarket conversion? The newer injection kits don't experience as much of a power loss but you still have some.

Are CNG cylinders safe? I am thinking of the conversion, but stucked on safety point. Please help.
