Evaluation of Aftermarket LPG Conversion Kits in Light-Duty Vehicle Applications: Final Report

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

Three liquefied propane gas (LPG) conversion kits were evaluated on a Chevrolet Lumina. The objective of the project was to measure the Federal Test Procedure emissions and the fuel economy of these kits, and compare their performance to the vehicle's operation on gasoline. The three kits were also compared to each other. Study conclusions and recommendations are included.
