In Reply to: LP gas for ATV's??? posted by dave2 on August 18, 2011 at 07:20:41:
Golf carts and ATVs have been set up to run LP/Propane in wharehouses as a safety measure- clean burn means less carbon monoxide, same as many fork lifts that work inside and out. Couple different articles on the conversion in past couple years, have to look them up- Popular Mechanics maybe. Older style VW Beetles with aircooled engines used in Mexico City have been LP conversions for years, the Dune Buggy mag had article on the LP version getting some US market extra equipment and then being legal to run in US. Forklift type conversion on a Big Red (Honda?) was the part feature of one article- the ATV was used as a lowprofile industrial wagon/pallet puller in a wharehouse with some outside storage- the ATV could go under some shelving, hoppers that forklift couldn"t, beat pushing/pulling by hand. Couple small cyles as well as smal ATV with big basket used in semi enclosed mall area were another part of article- could do parking lot and inside security clean running. Golf cart was noted as a California minor loophole to evade the electric only allowed on public course if made after whatever and not EPA/CARB certified- but the LP/propane had exemption in the pollution laws referred to by the California golf course ordinance so conversions got to use the course when gasoline engine- especially 2 strokes- were forbidden. Some of the Greens do conversion just for fun, some have access to non road taxed LP/Propane. RN
