New bi-fuel system brings propane to diesel vehicles

Icom North America now brings the environmental and fuel economy benefits of its liquid-injection propane system to diesel-powered vehicles, the company announced. Jasper Alternate Fuels, a division of Jasper Engines and Transmissions, has unveiled the Icom JTG-Dynamic system, configured for use with an International DT466 engine. The Icom system allows for use of a 50 percent blend of diesel and propane fuels. Jasper and Icom are working with fleets that presently use the International DT466 diesel engine to help them control their fuel costs. Jasper Alternate Fuels has more than 55 installation centers across the U.S. to perform LPG and CNG conversions on vehicles.
