Since 2000 the Schwans trucks have been using the 8.1L rather than the 7.4L. They also switched from the IMPCO vapor mixer system to their own Bi-Phase liquid LP electronic fuel injection. In January 2003 they bought 80 Navistar diesels. They had run out of 2002 chassis and were having problems getting the new GMC chassis converted to LP fast enough. They also continue to purchase various diesel and gasoline units to use as comparisons to verify the savings on propane. Areas, such as westerns Dakotas and Montana, where the truck will be away from the depots for several over nights are also good candidates for diesels since it hard to purchase LP at retail in most places.
