Just wondering how much trouble to set truck up to run off CNG. Its about $1.30 gallon here.Thanks for any advice.Great site!

 

It's the future! Briefly looked into converting to NGV, but put it on hold for now. But, here's a website that may provide you with some useful information re conversion: NGVA. If you go to the "Business Directory", you can find suppliers of all the conversation kits. Keep us posted!

 

It's now 2019, and the original posted thread was back in 2012.
I have a 2005.5 F350 6.0L Lariat bulletproof.
I'm considering doing a CNG conversion.
Has anyone given any more thought about CNG? It has been seven years now.
Thanks

 

Not that I have seen here. I have seen buses for auction that were diesel/CNG but those were 7.3's, you have a 6.0.

 

I was wondering what folks are getting as far as mileage goes. If it is worth doing the conversion.

 

Am presuming the question is to run 100% on CNG. Read a few articles on it.

Possible: Yes.

Worth it to convert: Not from an economic perspective.

But, last I read on the topic was ~2 years ago, so perhaps the hardware has come down in price to make the economics work.

 

The kit (minus the tank) is about $460.00.
The tanks cost depends on what size you want.
A 30 gallon tank is about $1,400.00.
Then there's the labor fees.

 

Something is telling me that a new tune is necessary too. Do not know whether there are any free ones out there.
