Propane Fuel Technologies – other road engines: the collective page of propane-fuelled truck engines outside the named ranges, D13H and MP8 base, 375 to 475 hp, model year 2015, 12.8-litre displacement
This page gathers the Propane Fuel Technologies engines the register could not assign to a named range. The company converts the heavy diesel truck platforms D13 and MP8 to run on propane; model designations D13H-375 through D13H-475 and MP8-415C through MP8-455M each give the power step in hp. The uniform EPA engine-family code FPFTH12.8PFT for all 13 versions confirms the shared 12.8-litre displacement base.

The register lists here 13 versions with 375 to 475 hp rated output at 1,500 to 1,800 rpm, consistently with electronic direct injection, maximum torque from 1,506 to 1,780 Nm at 1,000 to 1,100 rpm. All 13 versions are recorded with model year 2015, and the fuel is entered in the register not as a standard diesel grade but as a separate case.
Converting long-haul diesel engines to propane operation is aimed chiefly at fleets seeking an alternative to diesel or natural gas with existing propane fuelling infrastructure, at an output comparable to the diesel version.
On a used purchase, operating hours, the condition of the ignition system and the propane mixture formation, the tightness of the gas lines and tanks, the condition of the catalyst, and the inspection deadlines of the propane tanks all count; parts and service run through the Propane Fuel Technologies conversion workshop.
