Propane Autogas Conversion

This video will step you though the process of converting your vehicle to run off of liquid propane. The conversion was done at Yoder's Automotive Specialists in Washington, IN. The system that is being installed is the ICOM North America, JTGII Kit.

[@johnnylopez5123]

Wow. This is incredible, I thought this was not an option in the US.

[@Sam11747]

I know it's been a while, but was Albert able to stop using and get clean?

[@ellenorbjornsdottir1166]

?

[@razorsharp9850]

Hahahaha

[@jdhitc]

Thought the same

[@fortunate9714]

Good question

[@benjamengabriellewis8818]

This is fuqed but can’t unsee it 😂

[@fkarau]

One litre of gasoline contains the energy equivalent to 8.9 kWh of electricity 1 Litre of propane = 7.08 kWh (kilowatt hours) Hence 1litre of propane has 7.08/8.90= 0.7955056179775=+-80%of the energy that gasoline has. So, unless propane is considerably cheaper than 80% of the price of gasoline it’s a no brainer that there is nothing to be gained. Also consider the conversion cost, loss of power under full acceleration (-20%!) and that huge tank you have to stick somewhere there are more cons to pros to running propane. I had a dual fuel system car and finally ripped it out. I live in Canada and just called a local fuel station that carries auto propane. Feb 6 2021: Propane $1.09/liter. Regular Gasoline $1.32/liter, 1.09/1.32=.828=82.8%. It now costs more to run on propane than gasoline and idiots up there keep saying how much less it cost to use propane but they never do the math to figure out costs per kilometer. That money you want to spend on converting to propane can be much better spent on beer.

What about in a survival situation. Propane never expires and gas expires quickly. So eat shit.

[@fkarau]

@@ruifund3834 You must be a propane dealer who has one too many tequila in him. Propane is a great fuel but there is no economic incentive in converting to use it in an automobile in Canada. I can't speak for most other countries but I did run my propane vehicle in Mexico as well and the numbers didn't work out either. But yes, if the world is coming to an end it would be better to have propane in your tank instead of gasoline however a tank full of Don Julio Reposado would be my choice for living out the last few days of our existence on this planet. Have a nice day.

[@ManitaHoltrop]

Only thing is the lower emissions which is why I’d do it

[@fkarau]

@@ManitaHoltrop in a perfect world ,yes. But the truth is that economics drive most things in our life. Maybe if you didn’t have to carry that tank around that eats up trunk space and the conversion cost was somehow free through subsidization it would be an attractive alternative fuel. Then there are the 20% less ponies when you pull out to pass....the list goes on.

So many Indian taxi drivers did this to save money. Hard to find ads locally.

You guys and car manufacturers should make it easy for DIYers LOL

There are classes available. Check out the website under technician training.

LoL, they don't want us working on cars at all

[@tompeace2621]

$10,000 later that's a lot of gas you can buy

[@cautiousmechanic480]

What is the range if one tank empties, then switch to the other? In fact, what is the range of the added fuel?

[@DavidGonzalez-uo6pf]

We do that on Mexico, public transportation.

[@markussone7334]

you are such a ginger peach

[@thesniperofcs]

Good and I like it, but the spare tire is important in every car in the street 😶

[@razorsharp9850]

So why is it not a standard item in all new vehicles anymore then? In some it is only optional.

[@Jestr86]

i take my spare out to reduce weight.. i rarely keep a spare in my car.. i do however keep one close to home.

[@georgiaprixs2630]

Hank Hill would be proud Anyone else in 2022 trying to figure this out?

I tell you hwat

[@rpgc007]

I live in CT and I have a new Nissan Titan 2021. Where can I find a place to convert my truck ?

[@fkarau]

I drove my dual fuel from Vancouver Canada to Manzanillo México. No problem finding LPG in Mexico but I learned real fast that you can’t count on being able to buy automotive propane in the USA. When I finally found an American fueling station that sold automotive propane the only employee they had licensed to pump it was off that day. Do the math first buddy. If you can’t buy it for well below 80%the price of gasoline you are pissing in wind.

[@hankhill4254]

I only work on American trucks. Let's not forget Pearl Harbor

What is the average range of a GM assembled vehicle?

How much dose it cost

[@danielvences733]

How much The conversión? I live in México city.

[@danielvences733]

For f150 92 5.8

[@registrocuevasondas4940]

But now how much its your gas and propane 5 dollars per gal and 20 dollars for propane long run you still save if you doit yourself

[@DirtMongers]

self tappers straight into the chassis fuck sake lol

[@woodchippers_WestWingDimeBag]

did you miss the huge hole drilled through the trailer hitch?

[@DirtMongers]

@@woodchippers_WestWingDimeBag lol I don't think they've heard of hole saws

Did you say up to $50,000 off the instalation coat? WTF is so expensive here? For a glorified barbecue?!? Come-on now!

How does a conversation cost per vehicle

[@razorsharp9850]

What vehicle and engine are you interested in?

[@silverdragontaylir8252]

How much does it cost to put on half ton truck

[@razorsharp9850]

About 7K. What brand and engine?

[@ThinkBeforeYouSheep]

You can build it yourself for a literal fraction of that price with already existing equipment and tanks, ridiculous people want to charge 7k for basic technology/equipment.

[@registrocuevasondas4940]

Yeah but how much thas a cost to doit

[@ThinkBeforeYouSheep]

Their system is way over priced, it would be cheaper to do it with existing equipment.
