Buying Used Propane Equipment

[altfuel1991]

After being in the propane conversion business for over 26 years I want to pass on some advice to anyone looking for used propane carburetion equipment. If it is at all possible hear an engine run with the parts you are looking to purchase. I get a lot of calls from guys trying to troubleshoot an engine they just got running with used parts. Sometimes the problem is the used propane parts. If you buy parts that have been run for quite a while or are very old there could be worn housings in the mixers or dried out diaphragms and seals in the vaporizers creating extra headaches. Those parts may need to be rebuilt to work properly and in some cases by the time you buy a rebuild kit and take the time to repair it the cost may be about the same as a new part.

Can you do turbo applications?

like if someone wanted to buy a propane kit and have a turbo put on it, could you do that in house?

 

[altfuel1991]

Probably so. We have dialed in a few turbo setups for some customers that wanted to fab their own.
