I have discussed the conversion with B. Monds from Cigas and

he stated that if we do any More conversions, they would install
a larger storage tank and we would benefit by a reduction of

two cents per liter on propane. At present, the rental of the
propane storage is $120.00 per year, and this would go up to
$156.00 per year with a larger tank. —~

Other advantages of propane use are increased engine, Spark

plug and oil life because it is a Clean burning fuel. Statistical
records show that engine life is increased at least double to
normal on gasoline. Because of all these advantages, we can
expect less down time which contributes to high operating costs.

I would recommend that we convert about six vehicles this year
and these would consist of pick-ups and one-ton units.
