We put in a CNG station at ADOT and converted a lot of vehicles to CNG per government mandate. It worked well in the 4-cylinder engines in the vehicles that I had in the ADOT car pool. However, we had stalling problems with v-6 and v-8 engines at almost every stop light. After we made the stop and idled for a short while, when we went to take off, the engines would stall in the middle of the intersection. If you hit the key starter fast, the vehicle would start right up and drive to the next stop light. They ran good on the freeways, but mileage was not that great.
There was no odor, no smoke from the exhaust, but when we checked them on our emissions testers, none of the v-6's and v-8's would pass the emissions test. They had a big story in the media about converting the Governor's Lincoln to CNG, before they ever contacted me about refueling at the motor pool at 11:00 p.m. I had to train a bunch of security guys who never really paid attention. When the car started stalling on CNG at stop lights, they deemed it not safe they went back to using regular gasoline - but they never told the public about that. We sent the Governor to prison so got rid of that problem anyway.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
