            Just to be clear, is this actually Propane or CNG? I've never knew you could get a vehicle with actual propane.

              Are they 100% LNG or are they Westport dual-fuel technology?

                  You really want to get ahead of the game, do a mail truck. They'll be all the rage a year from now.

                    Just don't do an ice cream truck, unless you're willing to dress like a clown and/or be viewed as a potential pervert.

                        Shit, I've been asleep at the switch, I had no idea I had missed all these posts.

                        Poking around in the engine bay today, I saw a data tag on the air cleaner assembly that indicates it's a GM 6.0L

                        There is a sticker on the back corner, black and white square (45°) that says PROPANE.
                        I was looking up propane powered schoolbuses and came across an article about San Antonio's Northside that had rolled out a fleet of propane buses; this bus has a northside sticker on the front corner by the driver seat, mustabeen one of their early trucks.

                        It's a 23 foot bus, but I'm thinking the wheelie bars need to be at least 20 feet for effect.

                        What should the PSI be for these tires? I know I deflate the rear if I want a better hole shot…

                          Agility fuel systems. Loves also runs these on some of their fuel tankers. I do not see a diesel tank on them so looks like LNG only. Will drive one next time I get a chance

                              Wife says you have everything, I don't have any projects of my own, and I want a school bus. She found one, a shorter one (23') runs/drives, powered by propane. I've driven it around the block, not much else. What do I need to know about a propane powered vehicle? She wants me to build a bunch of seating/bedding/tables,
