Conversion Technologies

Today’s propane fuel injection technologies are significantly improved over the old carbureted technologies used in the 1980’s and 1990’s. Typically, these modern fuel injection technologies, with sophisticated electronic controls, work in combination with the OEM electronics, and use injectors designed specifically for propane. This has led to excellent emissions results along with drivability and performance equivalent to gasoline. Millions of kilometers have been logged using the technology in severe duty use, proving its capability to meet the rigors of fleet use.

The new generation technology is normally EPA approved for emissions, CSA, EN67 and/or UL certified for safety, and meets the operational requirements (reliability, performance, emissions, regulatory compliance) of today’s commercial fleet user.

There are various technologies available for converting your fleet to propane:

Bi Fuel Technology
These hybrid systems operate both on gasoline and propane. The bi fuel systems start on gasoline and relatively quickly switch to propane (without operator input) when proper conditions are met. Advantages include extended range and no cold start issues. Disadvantages include reduced space and payload in carrying of two fuels.

Mono Fuel Technology
These systems operate solely on propane with the existing gasoline systems removed. Advantages include operating on a single fuel without reducing space and payload. Liquid propane injection systems do not experience cold starting issues, however vapour injection systems, if not properly designed, may experience difficulties at very cold temperatures.
