Hey Guys,
  Natural Gas Conversion.  I searched my archive of messages ad couldn't

see

anything about this.  Has anyone heard of doing a CNG (Compressed

Natural

Gas)conversion on a rotary?  Chris and I were talking about it as we had
just purchased our first company van which runs on CNG.  Lot of

advantages

not the least of which is $.79/gal.  Thought I would ask.

Matt Cosman
MicroCosman

Dave Atkins and Chip (I think his name is) have converted several rotaries
to
run on CNG. How many miles per gallon of CNG do you get with CNG Chris?

Hi,

www.monito.com has some info on H2 conversion of a rotary.  Might be a place
to look.

I the wieght of the CNG tank might be an issue.  Is the weight of a gallon
of CNG per mile vs the wieght of a gallon of gasoline per mile offset the
added wieght of the CNG tank itself?

Hmmm.,.. imaging that, a CNG aircraft.

BTW Chris how is the Cosman II coming?
