Skygo Fuel Systems has EPA Approved Natural Gas Conversion System

Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- Skygo Receives EPA Approval for Dual Fuel Conversions of Cummins ISX Engines

Skygo Fuel Systems of Columbia SC, latest dual fuel conversion system has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The dual fuel system is available as an aftermarket upgrade for 2007 to 2009 Cummins ISX engines. According to data provided to the EPA, reduced emissions up to 20%, with displacements (natural gas substitution) approximately 60%.

The system delivers a very compelling financial ROI, and just as importantly, a very impressive environmental ROI. Initially designed for trucking applications, the system can applied to many different applications including transit, utility, or stationary power. When Skygo’s dual fuel system is in use, the dual fuel system is saving money and lowering harmful emissions.

Developed by and for the working engine user; this system provides excellent drivability and usability. The Skygo system is designed to be the most reliable in the market. In addition, Skygo has the highest diesel displacement of any similar product.

“You can’t tell it’s running on natural gas, the vehicle drives exactly the same as it did before the truck was converted.” says, Michael Kilbourne, President of Skygo and the developer of the system. The Skygo system intelligently substitutes natural gas for diesel with no loss of power or torque while in use. Skygo is nearing completion of the Detroit Diesel Series 60 engine application.

Skygo has partnered with AMBAC International to manufacture the system. AMBAC International, one of the oldest and most experience heavy-duty engine equipment manufacturers in the world, is manufacturing the system in their ISO9001 certified Columbia South Carolina facility.

“We are very excited about this technology, and our partnership with Skygo. The advantages this system provides to the transportation industry globally is great, and what’s even more phenomenal is how applicable the technology is to other heavy duty diesel applications.” Robert Isherwood, Vice President & Director of Product Development for AMBAC International.
