It's Nat-G, you can find them on the web at Nat-G.com and they have 800 number and a couple locations. I've had no issues with them and I've been Bi-fuel with them for over a year now. Only one issue and that was an obstruction in the fill line that came from a pump somewhere.

As far as driving the bomb and going to heaven in a 1000 pieces...hope I' e done my part to get there however it may come, but Nat gas is lighter and lifts away from vehicle. Petro fumes are heavy and will sit low and beneath you. If done right and routine tank inspections, no worries. Just 60 gallons of fuel on board.

Is that as a result of your Oklahoma 45% tax credit? No other way to pay for itself that fast.

45% tax credit, and averages 2550 mile/month, simple math says @ $3.00 and $1.00 Nat gas,....

2550 x 3.00 = $7650
2550 x 1.00 = $2550

(Avg 15 mpg)

Fuel save = $5100

Average install = $9500
45% tax credit = $4275
------------------------------
$5225
Fuel Savings. $5100

RakDaddy,

Thanks again for the information. What kit is in your FX4? I have a SkyPro HD kit in mine, but they don't make the special mod for the fuel line (emulator). Heard Technicarb (sp?) is the only kit manufacturer that makes the mod. They won't sell the mod hardware without buying their kit. I'm so glad to be near the end of my problems, it's been a crazy ride. The people who have done my conversion have been nothing short of awesome in troubleshooting this.

I'm in Northeast Utah, and drove to San Diego last Aug (When fuel was about 4$), got down and back on Nat Gas for under $150. Would've cost around $600 on regular fuel. Love it!

I had to go look at the paperwork, but it is the MTech kit. It runs like a beast even with the 35's on it. It's boggy down low, but that's due to 3.55's that I need to upgrade anyway.

Hopefully you get it all worked out soon. Currently Houston price haven't come down as the pump gas, so I'm looking same cost at both fuels until we get our upgraded private plant/pump back on line.
