This is something to think about
The unique version of the 6.0L engine – identified by an LC8 engine code – features special hardened valves and valve seats that enable it to run on CNG or...
I have not use for propane except for the BBQ grill my wife uses. The stoich is what about 12 to 1? That's my opinion and I have talked to the propane guys and have listened to them. The 1 and only...
This is a EPA certified calibration. You can the EQ ratio out of here. I think the GFI 9.5 bar regulator with the 3.9L would be able to hold pressure.
I had to change the text color on the old injectors part number

The fuel pressure regulator is going to be an issue. I like the GFI regulators, but when you have the 9.5 bar regulator "that would be used in your application" that rattle after a few hundred miles....
I have a lot of information on CNG. If you would like to peruse that we can start another thread. I have all of the Dedicated Injector part numbers that we use. The issue would not be the injectors,...
For years when I lived in Milwaukee I watched AutoLine Detroit every Sunday. I have seen Bob speak several times on the show. He has an opinion and it has cost him a job or 2.

Somewhat off of the topic, but we have 4 ELR's in. If anyone is looking at getting an ELR we have 4 of them. I missed out on a required hands on class for the batteries, so I am not certified to work...
The complete design is well worth looking at. I love how they dropped the NOX in that engine.
I have been known to install CNG kits and work on them from time to time. I am even a certified inspector. I love my CNG.
Local filling station is $1.58 GGE and it is 130 octane. The CNG does...
GM's Service Information (SI) has 2016 vehicles listed already in the drop down boxes. We are less than 10 years out with the 54.5 mpg standards. They are going to have to figure this out soon.
The article came from wardsauto as listed and it is from the SAE congress. Maybe I can get the information from a friend that attended
Nice article.
I think that I have stated this many times. This is the opposite of installing an EGR valve.

DETROIT – Vehicle fuel efficiency could be improved significantly if the U.S....
Dave the def file that EFILive has built may have some parameters that do not belong. Ross states that 90% or more of the code is the same between the E38 & the E67. The E38 does not support boost,...
To the other question
The returnless fuel system that is used on the Impala's without the FPCM has a fuel pressure regulator. I think I have a 2011 Impala fuel pump in the garage from one of the...
I got EFILive open today.

Sorry about all of the files, but I can not see all of the details in my...
Dave I change them back and forth often.
What brand of software are you using?
E38 on a 60 deg V6 uses a regular pump and the 5.3L will use the FPCM.
You will see a setting to change pump...
My laptop crashed this morning. All plans are on hold. Usually take 2 weeks to get it back. I knew it had a hard drive failing and tried to get the IT guy to replace it a few weeks back, but he said...

VTD CONFIGURATION

All of the RWD vehicles are straight forward. The issue is with the FWD cars.
