Why is everyone trying to reinvent the wheel here?

Propane vehicles have been around for 30 years or more.
They are a cheap conversion to a gasoline engine, very safe, reliable and work well in cold weather.
Propane is a very "green" energy source.
Western Canada still has decent propane infrastructure.

We used propane for all our fleet vehicles back in the mid-80's. These were 3/4 ton to 5 ton trucks hauling heavy liquid loads. No issues at all.
We used to buy it for $0.04/litre back then!

For those that don't know, the four lightest natural gases (in order) are methane, ethane, propane and butane.

Cheers,
