CNG Natural Gas Conversion for $1000

Detailed description of a CNG conversion costing about $1000. With a little bit of automotive mechanical skill, you can convert your car to operate on compressed natural gas and gasoline both.

I did all the conversion work myself at the Wrench-It Center in Salt Lake City. It is an awesome do-it-yourself garage facility with lifts and specialty tools. Check it out at http://www.wrench-it.com.

From what Ive learned and seen in conversions to NG they DO NOT get as good as Gasoline or Propane but get 1/2 the mileage.

@TEXANConnection The CNG tank only has about 1/2 the fuel capacity of the gasoline tank so you have to fill it more often. However, MPG for CNG and gasoline are about the same.

@ngvconversion The article I read some years ago the Texas RR commission converted a truck to all 3 and the CNG performed the worst, it was harder to get the fuel, The Tank was more of a problem, than LP or Gasoline. It burns no Cleaner than LP if thats your Goal. Its a waste of time and Money, there is a a better alternative thats better, If you look at cities that went to NG in there vehicals they last about 5 to 8 yrs then either go back to Propane or gas or diesel..

@TEXANConnection Texans love their propane and that's okay. Utah Mormons love CNG. The more ways to fuel cars the better. There are over 6000 CNG vehicles in Utah and a large network of public CNG fueling stations maintained by the gas company, Questar. Half the CNG vehicles are more than 10 years old . They last much longer than 8 years and don't get converted back to propane or gasoline.

Do you fill that up at Strickland Propane?

[ngvconversion]

@Gligar13Vids Hank Hill and Mr. Strickland are hard core propane guys. They wouldn't have anything to do with natural gas.

@ngvconversion to each his own my friend, But LP outweigh the NG conversion, Proven time and time again (and its nothing to do with me being in Texas). LP for vehicles has been around for close to 90 years. Your accomplishing the same thing you desire with better performance, expense,availability, and convenience on LP.

Great video. Thanks a lot. I do own a Civic GX on CNG. I like it so much, that I would like to convert my 2008 Toyota Solara to CNG. Can you do it? Can you recommend someone in the S California area?

Thanks

@broncotoe CNG has about the same MPG as gasoline

[broncotoe]

what kind of miles per gallon of CNG can be expected?
