It’s been a long time coming but with the economy in crisis and the gas prices on the rise (even though they are currently on the low, this trend will not last forever) and the increasing global demand for oil, it is only natural that technologies for converting conventional cars into ones using alternative fuels would find their ways to the market. And while the automotive giants are a bit slow to catch on to the trend, there are plenty of other companies all too happy to fill in the blanks.

Here are some of the more popular conversion kits available on the market:

  • Flex Fuel US—with proper installation it gives drivers an option to alternate between ethanol and petrol, since the kit accommodates gasoline, E10, E20 and E85 for those who would like to have more than one option for their fuel sources.
  • Hendrix Industrial Gastux Inc.—this company offers compressed natural gas and propane conversion kits that can be used with a number of various vehicles. However, they advise to have them installed by a professional.
  • Greasecar Vegetable Fuel Systems—these kits use vegetable oil as a fuel source and unfortunately are used only with diesel engines.

If you decide to look for a conversion kit for you car, it is advisable to first examine the alternative fuels and find out which one will be the best for your needs. Then, you should also make sure that the kit provider and their technology are legitimate and that you use a professional to install the kit for you.

    What kind of garbage are you providing “Auto manufacturers are slow to respond.

    Know your facts and visit Canada where you can order a new vehicle from
    the BIG 3 that runs on Gas/Propane.

    Know your facts: prior to 1998 you could do a Gas/Propane or Gas /CNG without any government interference until 1998 when the Oil and Auto Manufacturers lobbied our corrupt congress to put LPG and CNG car conversions in the hands of the EPA.

    This ewntire problem is attributable to the Oil and Auto Manufacturers
    who are no receiving their just deserts.

    There are currently about 15 million vehicles worldwide operating on either LPG or CNG and in Brasil they have new vehicles that are Tri Fuel
    Gas/Ethanol/Propane

    Yes we have freedom of speech, expression which we distort and bend by\
    disseminating HYPERBOLE which is the main theme of your article.

  3. I am not sure you actually understood my article… The facts that you’re providing have nothing to do with the subject matter of the article. Besides, the fact that other countries have been using the technologies does not refute what I said in the article since it talked of the American market only. And the article deal with discussing teh conversion kits available to the general public in the US. The issues that you bring up are valid but have nothing to do with the facts of the article.
