CNG vehicles... anyone mess with them
Just bought a 1999 Dodge cargo van at auction its a CNG only but I figure I will take a few accessories off it and hopefully sell it for a few bucks profit...
only had 37K miles on it... Thinking I may convert it to gasoline.. not sure what is involved other than a tank, fuel lines pump and prob PCM... Colorado sucks for CNG only one company has stations and you need a fueling card account. I used to have a card for them but lost it long ago after I sold the CNG Crown Vic I had.... But will prob ebay or craigslist it as New Mexico and Utah have cheap CNG... these vehicles are great in big city areas where u can use car pool lane and lots of fueling stations to choose from..... Maybe I should use the parts to make a CNG/diesel 7.3 hybrid I read an interesting article on some research study where they went from 15 to 40 MPG running Diesel/CNG instead of just diesel I wish there was a better national CNG infrastructure. with no byproducts of combustion the oils stays super clean and very nice on the engines. 25K mile oil changes are nice too
