The reason I am so interested in methane (the major component of NG) is that my propane costs are quite high per year, and I can eliminate this operational expense. I have a 75kw gen for the farm that is also propane powered that will be converted. As a note, it's extremely easy to produce methane...extremely easy.

Well, I have a '98 F250 CNG with 53k on the clock i will be selling very soon...
Gvt. auction sourced, from Kansas city. It is a 'dedicated' sytem, runs great,
body needs a little help. It has 2 large tanks, and they are 'P30' nozzles, that's 3000 PSI of CNG. In Utah, CNG is about 75 cents a gallon. Here in Il. there are not enough stations for my liking. It has a 5.4 triton engine, and it is my understanding that it has been specially developed by Ford for this purpose, The system is factory Dearborn.. The tanks were made by "Lucas Aerospace", in England. New, CNG was a $6000 option!
Will be asking about $4500, delivered. Think about it...
( I am going to market it in SLC and OKC, in roughly a week)
