I'm thinking of running my FJ40 on something other than gasoline or diesel.

Thoughts?

If this is the way you're headed I'd take a serious look at CNG first - you can retrofit your 2F and get pretty decent mileage (keeping gasoline as a backup). Since this engine has been around in fork lifts forever - there are plenty of conversion kits and parts to be had, the best kit I found in my searching was made by IMPCO. Do a search on Jim_Phillips and CNG and you'll find some interesting reading.

Biodiesel is also an interesting alternative - but you'd have to convert your engine to a diesel, retrofit for bio-fuel, etc...kinda spendy to save a few $$.

Good luck!

I am actually converting it to propane. I have all the parts except for my tanks.

This thread was started purely in jest, because Poser was bumping all the propane threads. I guess it backfired, and has become a somehwat legitimate tech thread.

Because I was amazed at how many threads there were out here, and how easy it was to find them using the search function....





Have a great day Scott.

You too, thanks! I got a chuckle out of that, maybe people will search next time.
