Local Knowledge About Propane Conversions

Propane has been used as a commercial motor fuel for more than 80 years and millions of miles. However, due to increased regulations from the EPA, there are very few propane conversion kits for U.S. street passenger vehicles available today. It has actually been a much more popular choice in Europe and other countries due to less stringent regulations and higher gasoline prices. Even though propane powered engines offer cleaner emissions along with 10 to 15 percent less carbon dioxide, 20 percent less carbon monoxide and 50 to 60 percent less hydrocarbons and nitric oxide, tighter emissions regulations have changed the way conversion companies can do business.
