Now that is really cool! I think I'd check with your state DMV to see what requirements there are for conversion of your vehicle to propane/LNG. It might well be achievable, since other people are converting other cars and trucks to propane/LNG all the time.

I would think that the routing of the fuel hose from the rear to the engine compartment would be a safety concern. But, they likely have figured out a good way to do it.

I'd be inclined to just put the spare tire in the "trunk" area, after a thorough washing of the spare tire.

The conversion is possible [just make sure the kit manufacturer is reputable] .. the basic question is why and the inconvenience/advantage study.

Green +
Pickup/response --
refueling convenience --
Range between fills ---

Gas prices in US (not a significant factor).
