This engine runs on three fuels: neither electricity nor hydrogen
May 27, 2024Niyato Industries Inc. has come up with a cool tri-fuel engine that lets a Ford F-350 4×4 pickup run on gasoline, compressed natural gas (CNG), or propane. For the propane setup, you’ll need a different tank and a vaporizer, which can be ordered when the vehicle is being retrofitted. This depends on the fleet operator’s original purchase order.
New tri-fuel system
This tri-fuel system has been certified by both the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board. It covers all weight configurations for Ford’s F-250 and F-350 with 6.2L engines.
“Our goal isn’t to reinvent the wheel but to make it roll more smoothly,” says Niyato CEO Leslie Stencil.
Right now, Niyato’s calibration and system design team is putting the vehicle through rigorous testing. They’re making sure everything runs perfectly before it hits the road. This innovation is set to provide more flexibility and cost savings for fleet operators. With the ability to switch between three different fuels, drivers can choose the most economical option based on current fuel prices and availability.
This system is not only efficient but also an eco-friendly step forward, offering a versatile solution for modern transportation needs. By reducing reliance on a single fuel type, it helps mitigate the impact of fuel shortages and price spikes. Moreover, using CNG and propane, which burn cleaner than gasoline, can significantly reduce the vehicle’s emissions, contributing to a greener environment.
Niyato’s process and approach
Niyato’s approach is particularly beneficial for large fleet operators, like delivery services or municipal vehicles, who can see substantial savings in fuel costs over time. Additionally, the adaptability of the tri-fuel system means that vehicles can operate in regions with varying fuel availability without any hassle. This flexibility ensures that fleet operations remain smooth and uninterrupted, no matter the circumstances.
The LPG application of Niyato Industries’ new Tri-Fuel system requires a separate tank for propane storage and a vaporizer, which can be ordered based on the fleet operator’s original purchase agreement when the retrofit facility makes its request.
This innovative system has earned certifications from both the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and CARB (California Air Resources Board). These certifications cover all weight configurations for Ford’s F-250 and F-350 6.2-liter engine families, including all Super Duty specifications such as Regular Cab, Short Bed, Extended Cab, Crew Cab, Long Bed, and all weight classes from 2012 through 2016.
Niyato is making the ordering process as straightforward and cost-effective as possible. They have standardized the pricing for the low-pressure side of the system across all Ford F-250 and F-350 platforms. Additionally, a few months ago, Niyato announced they would accept orders for the 2016 F-150 5.0 Bi-Fuel and Dedicated (LPG or CNG) vehicles at 5% below any verified competitor bid price through 2017. This 5% discount offer has now been extended to national fleet operators and includes the F-250 and F-350 models as well.
Currently, Niyato’s calibration and system design team is rigorously testing the vehicle to ensure everything runs perfectly before it hits the road. This innovation promises to provide greater flexibility and cost savings for fleet operators. With the ability to switch between three different fuels, drivers can choose the most economical option based on current fuel prices and availability.

Horses for Courses I guess, when I was a boy we used petrol to start the engine then we switched over to paraffin. A reciprocating engine will run on about anything, I even heard whisky would work if you had no petrol coupons. All in all the diesel motor is the simplest.
Americans are late in motors! Here in Brazil all cars runs on three fuels for about 40 years: gasoline, ethanol or natural gas in the same motor!
Since the early 70’s up until the advent of Hybrids in the last 10 years, every Taxi Cab in Australia HAD TO run on LPG (Propane) by law. The law was relaxed to allow operators to use the Toyota Camry and other Hybrids when they became available.
LPG was an available option to private users in new Fords & Holden’s as well as conversion kits for other makes and models.
To this day LPG is available from Bowsers (Pumps) in most Service (Gas) Stations available to
