Everyone,
    Here is another site I found today.
http://www.bi-phase.com/index.htm

    This one looks even better than the previous one. This is a Liquid
Propane Gas Fuel Injection system. They have one for the 5.9L engines. I
think they are more geared towards larger trucks which is what most fleet
users have on average I guess. Sounds like it would be pretty expensive.
Maybe if we did a group buy on it, we could work out a lower cost from them.
I dont know yet, but I will email them and ask. The problem is they only
sell the systems to certified installers who then perform the installation.
    I dont suppose anyone on here is certified or knows anyone that is
certified to install alternative fuel conversions? This system looks great
and seems to be the easiest since it works with OEM equipment. You maintain
the OEM Engine Control Unit, Ignition, etc. This one is a full conversion
also, no more unleaded gasoline.
