Dont listen to the guys who say it isn't worth because it is. For one you live in alberta were the propane is the cheapest around. The power difference is only noticeable if you make it noticeable like flooring it and maybe taking actual 0-60 times. When you get a propane conversion for EFI all the sensors aren't used for it the only thing you need is an aftermarket ignition timing advance computer and it will run really good and you can get the most power and RPM range out of that fuel. I have been using my system for a year and a half and have no problems and I can switch back to gasoline with a flick of the switch. To buy a new kit may or may not be worth at this day because oil is so high. It is cheaper to run than gas in a ranger because the engine is only a 4.0L V6 not a 5.7L V8. Take it from a guy who actually has a propane conversion.

I didn't know they had an EFI propane kit for RBVs. That changes things a little.

And yeah, from what I've heard the power loss from propane is barely noticable. Had a number of people tell me this (including you) who actually run propane.

found a place closer that sells propane for trucks; $0.809/L. thats saving 50cents a liter!! thats like 60% of the cost! i should see if i can get one designed for a ranger, or buy an older truck already converted...

OK, so who in here can point me in the right direction for a Dual fuel Propane Conversion for a 4.0L EFI Ranger? (Obviously without advertising!)
Thanks,
Kenny
