i recently went up to the new fenced area of my local menards (on 52 in joliet, il) and they have an autogas pump along with the bbq fill ups. both have to be done by customer service. but anyway this has re-lit the fire under my pants to get my old truck up and running on lpg.

just wanted to let everyone know and see if this is a national thing!

Right now (as far as I know anyway) this is a test market in northern Il.
I believe if they are sucessful they will roll it out in other markets.
You can also get autogas at most of the Love's truck stops.

i also heard the pilot stations will be getting autogas. but them and loves are out of range for me. i'd have to trailer my truck there to fill up for a weekend. thanks for the info.

I was talking to a sales rep for a propane conversion kit and he told me it was the whole state. Could have been just a line to make it seem like a better deal but I know Rockford, Woodstock and Machesney Park all have the autogas pumps.

what were you looking to convert? i see 2 diesels in your sig. and what company did you find in n. illinois? i am drawn to gotpropane.com. since my 64 will not have emissions to contend with. and it has a carburetor.

menards having auto gas makes this whole alt fuel thing work for me. i have no intention on taking the 64 out of the area. and ethanol is to difficult to make and produces to much waste for me. i have neighbors i cant have calling authorities on me.
