Default Re: Switch to Natural Gas

I've read that if the vehicle is 100% natural gas the performance will be the same. If its a split, allowing you to use either gasoline or natural gas that there's a slight decrease in power when using natural gas.

The problem is filling stations, if you drive in the middle of nowhere, which I often do, it can be difficult to find a filling station.

My solution would be to use the split. As far as the loss of power is concerned, I can always push harder on the acclerator and use gasoline when towing or carrying a heavy load.

I sent an email to a conversion place to see how much it will cost, hopefully they will return it soon.
