Our local UPS has them. Driver claims it has loads of power. Time will tell, sure wouldnt want to run out around here in the winter, long way to the fill station.
My Grandfather converted his 1975 GMC heavy half to run on LPG back in well 1975 and had NO issues with it. It was his daily driver, work truck, and tow vehicle for TT too. Told me once that he never had any problems, only basic maintenance (fluids, belts, batteries, and a few alternators). You do lose some power, but your engine won't gunk up since CNG burns so clean.
When all else fails, grab a bigger hammer. IYAOYAS.

This last thread topic suggested I don't pay road tax's so I'll just bail out while I can. (oh they are gutless and run out of fuel before you find a station and you'll never recoup the up front cost, IMO)
Converting to LPG (propane) is one thing. At least you can fill the thing up locally. Converting to CNG (natural gas) is a complete other thing and would be completely useless around here.
There is no place for a regular joe to fill it up. Only fleet vehicles can be natural gas around here, and only if they provide their own filling station and only plan to fill the vehicles there at their own station, because there is no other place to fill them. The power company and the city buses use natural gas. Nobody else does, because nobody else has the ability to fill them up.
UPS is a big enough company that they can afford to build a CNG filling station at each of their main distribution plants, where the trucks come back home to at the end of every shift to refill. Their routes are local, or point A to point B between distribution centers. They can deal with the limited range and limited locations to fill. The regular joe doesn't have that luxury.
I used to fill our fleet in the Air Force. CNG is too hard to find and the mileage achieved isn't much better if any than gas, and costs as much. The only reason it's around is because tree huggers push the environmental aspect. But the bottom line is the majority of American public won't care about that if it doesn't save money

Woooo, woooo, wooo, I did not suggest you did not pay road tax. (did I?, I hope not) I would never do such a thing....well......at least to you.
I was just thinking out loud. If you did have NG for your home and you went CNG for your truck (or boat ) and owned your own pumping station, how would "the man" know it had no road tax on it? You just put a tap line on your house line to your pumping station and in your truck it goes.
Sorry, I have to go. I have to go hook up my pumping station.
