[QUOTE="FedGT, post: 2767934, member: 58838"] I got quotes for a few of my trucks for cng conversion bi fuel. Back a few years back it almost made enough sense to do it. Fedex was going to give me the diesel "allowance", to fill up at my cng station would have been $1.37 but the conversion would have cost well over $10,000 per truck times that by 11 trucks. With how much my guys drove it would have made up the cost in a few years, I am glad I didn't pull the trigger for one since I sold out and two the largest difference I have seen between the two fuels in the last two years was about $1.55 with the lowest being cng greater than .10. Needless to say it would not have paid off and would have cost me dearly. Also I talked to an express guy that ran a cng cargo van in my area and he told me that the close station was so far down the pipeline there were days that he would go to fill up and so many people were on the line there was no pressure to fill his tank. He had a fully dedicated system so he claimed because of that he ran out of fuel multiple times. [/QUOTE]
