CNG Conversion

Has anyone done or thought of doing this? I can get sponsorship for the kit and install in trade for some shows and advertising pics. Any ideas?

Don't know if you can find it, but there was a fellow a couple of years ago who I believe lived in Norway who made the conversion. He bought a kit from someplace in the US and just did it. In Norway gas was $8 a gallon so it made a lot of sense to him at the time.

I've been searching for this for years. Seems G.Dub and the oil companies have all but destroyed any existence of this on the Internet in the USA. There is a Canadian company that produces such a kit but has no carb e.o. # and comes without a tank. These kits are commonplace in European and Middle Eastern countries but are all but unsearchable here.

Once upon a time, Ford offered the Bi-Fuel V10 and I think, 5.4.

They could run gas/propane or gas/CNG.

If I were you, I would ask one question: Does the conversion allow you to run BOTH gas and CNG? Or just CNG? If just CNG, that might make it less attractive - to me, at least

I understand your thinking, the sponsor is a Natural Gas Producer so I'm going to guess they would have more intrest in CNG than Propane, but just a guess.

Ford will be offering a CNG option for the 2012 V10 in the Medium Duty (650 and 750) trucks. If companies go over to CNG for a medium duty truck they may want to have their smaller light duty trucks run CNG also. LP is also a popular conversion and Rousch is dabbling in LP on the F-150 trucks.

With the natural gas reserves we have here in the US I think it is worth the effort to come up with a CNG conversion for a V10 SD or at least for other LD gas trucks. Would be great to retain the stock gasoline tank so you can run on gasoline or CNG to extend range and get you to a CNG station.

There was an episode on "Trucks" a few years back where the guys installed a kit on a F150 that changed it over to propane. Try a search for Powerblocktv or Truckstv.

I remember that episode, they used a Rousch kit. LP prices went up. Last time I got 100lbers filled it went up $8 in 2 months, and that was when oil was under $70 a barrel. Most places screw the consumer with LP prices.

V10 CNG System

Be very careful about buying CNG systems on price alone. A $699 kit will likely be a low-end generic fumigation system, which will not work very well with a V10 (intake manifold backfires). An multiport EFI engine should be converted with an injection conversion and V8 injection systems are relatively inexpensive but definitely more than $699. A V10 CNG system requires a 10-cylinder system controller, which is more expensive than V8 systems because of economies of scale. Technocarb makes a complete underhood Ford V10 CNG injection kit using their premium SVI System, which has an MSRP of $3642.86 for 1999-2005 vehicles. Newer trucks would be somewhat more expensive.

CNG Installed

I know that this thread has been dead for a few months but trying to research about doing a Bi-Fuel CNG/Gasoline to my 00 F350 V10...

Found this place and was wondering anyone in Oklahoma has heard of or tried this guy?
www.marvinscng.com - Home

And if the prices are reasonable?
Do you loose HP/Torque with CNG?

He does have the kit that will allow you to use one or the other..

Quote from his site:
"ALL GASOLINE KITS ALLOW YOU TO STILL USE GASOLINE AT WILL. DIESEL KITS SHOULD ALLOW OWNER TO DOUBLE MILEAGE AND INCREASE HORSE POWER!"

cng v10

It's been a year so I thought I would ask again.
Any good CNG injection setups for a E450 V10 2v?
Maybe even an ECM tune for CNG foggers?

I have a low miles Class C RV that would be nice to convert.
