Do-It-Yourself Automotive LPG Conversion by Tom Jennings ONLINE CONVERSION MANUAL!!! Better save this one to your hard drive before it disappears!

LP-Gas Serviceman's Manual Engineered Controls International, Inc., ECII, has prepared this LP-Gas Serviceman's Manual for use by installation servicemen and others requiring a handy reference for field service work. It deals with subjects that can be useful to field servicemen striving for greater efficiency and safer installations. For the more technical problems and theories, the many texts and manuals concerning the particular subject should be consulted. This manual is not intended to conflict with federal, state, provincial or local ordinances and regulations. These should be observed at all times.

propane peak shaving and standby systems - Demand for clean-burning natural gas (composed primarily of methane) is growing around the world. And in North America, a dynamic gas-energy marketplace offers an array of competitive choices - and risks - from wellhead to burner tip. In the new gas-energy marketplace, propane peak shaving and standby systems provide supply security and flexibility for many gas utilities and consumers. Most of these plants produce "propane-air" for direct replacement of natural gas. Great graphics and interesting articles on utility usage of gas.

Gas Hydrate Storage of Natural Gas [PDF-3.115MB]

Natural Gas Storage Historically, approximately 13% (3.1 Trillion cubic feet) of the natural gas consumed in the United States is delivered from storage facilities, primarily during the heating season from November to March. Natural gas is stored in two basic ways – compressed in tanks as liquefied natural gas (LNG) or in large underground storage facilities such as depleted gas wells, salt caverns, or rock caverns, abandoned mines, and aquifers. By far, the greatest volume of gas is stored by this second method, usually in depleted gas wells.

California NGV Coalition Fueling Station Locator - The CNGVC Fuel Station Locator is an electronic version of its Natural Gas Fueling Station Directory, a comprehensive list and map book identifying public-access CNG and LNG stations in California, Arizona, and Nevada. While the printed directory is updated quarterly, the on-line locator is updated whenever the CNGVC receives information about a station opening or closing.

Principles of Gas Carburetion The Garretson systems of gaseous fuel carburetion are designed to run internal combustion engines with gaseous fuel in the simplest, most economical manner for top performance and lowest emissions for propane conversions and natural gas conversion kits for alternate fuels.

Converting a motor to run on Propane! Basically, instead of delivering vaporized gasoline as the engine sucks in the air/fuel mixture during the "intake" cycle, the engine delivers propane/air mixture. The engine itself is not modified in any way. It still sucks in the air/fuel mixture, compresses it, ignites it and converts the resulting explosion (internal combustion) into rotary energy during the power stroke. Thus delivering work energy to the item which requires power (to rotate a generator armature for example).

Converting Gasoline Generators to Propane The generator's carburetor still functions in the normal way with this conversion, mixing air and fuel into the combustion chamber. You will need some special propane regulation and safety equipment, available from any generator shop that sells and services large propane generators (Onan, Kohler, Winco, etc.).

Convert Your Car To Propane  It works. New York, Maine, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Utah, California . . . I've traveled miles and miles and miles in a VW bus converted to run on LP (liquid propane) and the easy-to-install system really does result in lower operating and maintenance costs, much longer engine life AND 70% less air pollution.

Natural Gas Natural gas is a mixture of combustible gases formed underground by the decomposition of organic materials in plant and animal. It is usually found in areas where oil is present, although there are several large underground reservoirs of natural gas where there is little or no oil.
