1" fuel hose and stepper motor for more power.
Our carburetor kit converts your engine to a fuel injected engine while
operating on CNG.
Please completely read all the information below before ordering.
We will need the following information about your vehicle when ordering
a conversion kit:
1. Fill Nozzle Type (Read Fill Nozzle Options section below.)
2. Mixer Size (See the information below for more information on
selecting the mixer size.)
3. Year of Vehicle
4. Make of Vehicle
5. Model of Vehicle
6. Number of Cylinders
7. Engine Size in Liters
8. Comments (Leave any additional information or comments you may have.)
Some engines that may require special parts from us or after market
parts.
1. Engines with duel carburetors will require our dual mixer kit.
The duel mixer kit comes with an additional mixer, a tee fitting, 18" of
additional hose, and 4 additional hose clamps.
2. Most carburetor engines will need a single port carburetor adapter or
a cold air intake kit. These kits include 3" or 4" round
tubing, couplers, clamps and a cone shaped air filter. The air intake
system will allow you to install the mixer in or to the round intake tube.
If installing the mixer with hose couplers, order the mixer the same
size as the tubing. We recommend installing or at least ordering the air
intake system before ordering the CNG conversion kit so you know what size mier
you will need. These parts are available at your local auto parts
store or online. See the Spectre brand at most auto parts stores.
Fill Nozzle Options
We have two fill nozzle options.
1. Standard fill nozzle with 1/4 turn shutoff valve with 2 ports so it
can be installed in-line from the cylinder to the regulator. This is what
you should order unless you need one of the other options.
2. Strait nozzle without shutoff valve. For installing in tight or
hard to get to locations. Comes with an extra 1/2 length roll of
tubing. It is connected directly to the tank valve. The regulator
is connected directly to the other port of the tank valve.
Stainless Steel Fittings Option
For a small additional cost we can supply 1/4" or 3/8" stainless
steel fittings so you can install stainless steel tubing instead of the steel
tubing that comes with our kits. We do not supply the stainless steel
tubing. We recommend our steel tubing as it is lower in cost and much
easier to install. Call to order if desired.
How the Carburetor Conversion Kit Works
A mixer (venturi) is installed in the air intake between the air filter and the
carburetor which provides single point fuel injection. If your air filter
is mounted over the carburetor you will need to order a carburetor adapter to
convert to a 3" or 4" round tube to mount the mixer in or to.
You will also need and a cone shaped air filter, tubing coupling, and perhaps
other parts, or a complete intake kit designed for your vehicle. An
oxygen sensor installed on the engine's exhaust is monitored by the CNG
controller which controls an electronic valve (stepper motor) installed on the
low pressure CNG fuel hose going to the air intake to provide the proper fuel
ratio at all times. Do not purchase a conversion kit for a carburetor
engine that does not use an oxygen sensor and a feedback controller. On
all gasoline engines the combustion air has always been controlled with a
throttle plate so it makes sense to bring the fuel in with the air letting the
oxygen sensor that comes with the kit adjust the fuel ratio. This
provides the best mixing of the gas and air which provides excellent engine
performance. The engine idles and runs the same as it does on
gasoline. The timing is advanced for the best operation on both fuels by
rotating the distributor. The 3 way switch on the dash allows you to
convert to either fuel. When converting to CNG you place the switch in
the neutral position which shuts off the gasoline to the carburetor with the
provided solenoid installed on the gasoline fuel line. When the gasoline
begins to run out the switch is changed to the CNG mode. The instructions
are written for the car owner to install with many tips, "how to"
information and a trouble guide. A computer cable comes with the kit and
programming is simple and takes only a few minutes. The software is
downloaded from our web site. Our controller features self adjusting
electronics which always provides peak performance. The control on the
dash indicates which fuel you are using and how much CNG is in your CNG
tank. This kit allows you to run on either gasoline or CNG with the push
of a button on the dash. If you run out of CNG you will begin to loose power
so you just push the button on the dash and you will switch to gasoline and
continue driving. You should always refuel before you run out of either
fuel. See our web site for more information.
All of our kits have a control on the dash which indicates which fuel you are
using and how much CNG is in your tank.
All of our kits allow you to run on either gasoline or CNG with the push of a
button on the dash.
All of our kits come with regulators designed for your engine size for more
power and better performance.
Our Millennium kit will automatically switch to gasoline if you run out of
CNG. You should always refuel before you run out of either fuel.
We design all of our kits ourselves, and we manufacturer some of the
parts. Some of our parts are imported from other countries. Some
parts are built in the USA.
We have chosen the best parts with the best prices to provide the best kits
available at the best price.
All our kits are rated for 3,600 psi and come complete with everything you need
including the filling nozzle. CNG storage tanks, tank valves, and
mounting brackets are sold separately. You can use any type of legal DOT
certified CNG tanks with our kits.

Mixer Kits
Mixer kits are known as mixer, aspirated, fogger, single point injection, or
air intake conversion kits. We have mixer kits for all engines including
fuel injected, carburetor, and diesel. These kits are the easiest to
install and adjust and are the lowest cost.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is one of the lowest cost and environment friendly
alternative fuels available. More than 12 million cars in the world are driving
on CNG. All you need is a CNG Conversion Kit, a CNG Tank with Valve and a
Mounting Bracket for the Tank.
You can use multiple tanks for a longer driving range with any of our
conversion kits.
Why CNG?
OIL FREE - Natural Gas is Produced in the USA
SAVE - Costs up to 80% Less than Gasoline
CLEAN - Fewer Emissions Save the Environment
SAFE - CNG Kits and Tanks Built to ISO or DOT Safety Standards
EASY - Filling Your Car is Nearly as Fast and Easy
CONVENIENT - Bi-Fuel System - Change to Gasoline or CNG with the Flip of a
Switch Even While Driving
ADVANTAGES
Lowest Cost Fuel - As low as $.88 a GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent). If your
car gets 30 mpg on gasoline you will still get the same 30 mpg on CNG and at a
lower cost. That is like going from 30 mpg to 90 mpg if you are spending 1/3
the cost for CNG. In many areas the cost of natural gas is regulated, keeping
the price low.
Domestic Fuel - Not dependent on foreign oil and their constant price
increases. You will save even more in the future as gasoline continues to rise
faster than natural gas.
Environmentally Friendly - Fewer emissions as hydrocarbons are virtually
eliminated.
Engine Runs Cleaner and Lasts Longer - No Carbon Deposits Which Create Friction
and Engine Wear.
Ignition (Spark) Plugs Stay Cleaner and Last Longer - No carbon deposits to
clog and dirty the plugs.
Bi-Fuel - Change to either fuel with the push of a button.
DISADVANTAGES
Reduced Performance - With our conversion kits for gasoline engines performance
is reduced by approximately 10 to 20% as natural gas has different physical
attributes, and your engine was designed to run on gasoline. The mixer also
restricts air flow.
Storage Space for Storage Tank - The CNG tank will need to be installed in the
trunk of most cars, in the truck bed of most trucks, or behind the back seat of
an SUV or van. Sometimes smaller 11" diameter tanks can be installed
underneath some vehicles.
Filling Station Availability - Some areas of the United States have few or no
filling Stations.
When is the best time to buy?
Buy while gasoline prices are low and our prices are the lowest. When gasoline
prices are high our prices may go up and we may run out of stock as demand is
very high.
New Price Matching
We will match the price of any USA stocking competitors advertised price on any
comparable CNG kits, parts or tanks.
Warranty
All our conversion kits, tanks, and parts have a 1 year parts warranty.
Stainless Steel Fittings Option
For a small additional cost we can supply 1/4" or 3/8" stainless
steel fittings so you can install stainless steel tubing instead of the steel
tubing that comes with our kits. We do not supply the stainless steel
tubing. We recommend our steel tubing as it is lower in cost and much
easier to install. Call to order if desired.
Why we recommend our mixer kits for do it yourself and for experienced
installers.
1. Our mixer kits are easy to install and adjust.
2. They are lower in cost.
2. They use the oxygen sensor to adjust the fuel ratio so the engine runs
with the same fuel ratio and exhaust temperatures eliminating any engine or any
other damage to your vehicle.
3. You do not have to wait for the engine to warm before you can run on
CNG. Mixer kits run on CNG immediately.
4. They run well in all weather conditions.
5. Our mixer kits are easy to install and program.
