Yes, the Canadian B149 installation code applies to all propane and natural gas vehicles in Canada. It ensures that Canada has the world’s highest safety standards for automotive propane components, including crash testing for tanks. Suppliers and installers are also closely monitored.

Virtually any normally aspirated, gasoline engine can be converted to run on propane. The only limitations are physical. For example, the location of the propane tank is different for every vehicle. On a pick up truck it can be placed in the bed or underneath where the spare tire is located. On a sedan or smaller vehicle, a portion of the trunk is often used to accommodate the tank.
A dual or bi-fuel conversion simply means the vehicle can run on either gasoline or propane. The original gasoline system remains completely intact and the propane components operate separately. Drivers can switch between fuels at their convenience.

The propane system requires only minor periodic maintenance. The regular gasoline maintenance is reduced, offsetting the cost of the propane service.
Your vehicle should be maintained by a licensed propane facility. This will ensure years of safe and trouble-free operation of your environmentally friendly propane powered vehicle!
