Can I get my conversion done in Canada

[smswartz]

I have a 2002 honda accord and 2003 honda pilot I want to convert and I only 6 hours from the canadian border. Anyone ever had there vehicle converted in Canada or know if they will do it? I called a few shops yesterday and none of them were open on Saturday afternoon.

Just curious if anyone else has any information to offer.

Yes, they can with the cost being around 5K USD for the conversion.

That seems to be a good price. Do you have strict emission laws over there in Indiana?

Doesn't matter where you get it converted, it will still be illegal in US if registered and driven here.

I use mine on a farm as a farm vehicle which unless I misunderstood is legal. There was another post on here with a guy using a small car to drive around his farm. He could legally convert his car as well as the rules do not apply to farm vehicles.

Stephen,
How many miles do you have on these vehicles? Converting older, high mileage vehicles can open a can of worms that even experienced alt fuel techs shy away from. And the return on investment, unless you drive over
20k miles a year or make your own fuel is rough.

For $5,000 why not just buy or trade for a used cng truck or van to use on your farm. We've been selling pickups and vans in the $4-6k range with 150-450k miles on them and lots of life left in them.

I'm curious, what kind of farm do you have that a honda car would be considered a farm vehicle. If your cars are for off road use and don't have to go thru emissions and registration than your choice of solutions is easier. The tanks will probably be the most expensive part and where to mount them safely will be the biggest concern.
