Great to see that the EPA has eliminated the annual recertification requirement--in my opinion, this is the singlemost onerous regulation that has kept conversions from being cost-effective.

A dual fuel conversion on a diesel will not see quite the savings as a bi-fuel or dedicated CNG conversion on a gasoline vehicle. It is more of a power performance product which will increase horse power & mpg. You will not likely find an EPA certified kit for this as well. The increased torque & HP is certainly enjoyable.

Back in the day, 1980s, the kit consisted of nothing more than a square flange that that you placed between the carb and intake. Had to start the engine on liquid fuel, and then switch to gas once you were moving. Looked like nothing more than an old propane stove burner with the holes in the center doughnut hole.
