Abstract: Using alternate fuels in place of gasoline is not new in the industry. Some 15 years ago a tree trimming contractor used LPG to run trucks and chippers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area and realized a considerable savings due to the price structure at that time. Alternate fuels are used extensively in foreign countries where the cost of gasoline is much more than we have seen in this country. A report from the National LP-Gas Association to carburetor conversion kit manufacturer indicates a tremendous increase in kit sales for the first half of 1974 over the same period in 1973. The totals were 120,000 units in 1974 compared to 94,000 in 1973 or about a 78% increase. So we can see that gasoline shortages and prices are the controlling factor in the use of alternate fuels.
