What about Ohio Universities Ammonia Car?

Thank you Lisa for finding this important reference. Indeed, Ohio is in the race for the ammonia fueled car. But, they are reforming the ammonia to produce hydrogen, which then uses this hydrogen to do the same purpose we server with gasoline. One of the big differences is that our system, using ammonia-gasoline, will work on gasoline alone when ammonia is not available, and their system must have ammonia, alone, or it can't run. It will be a long while until ammonia is available in the common fashion of gasoline is now. Until ammonia has the common distribution of gasoline these ammonia fueling systems will not fuel any appreciable part of our automobiles . Also, and importantly so, engines designed to run specifically on ammonia will not function on gasoline. These ammonia fueled engines will come into their own in perhaps 15 years, but we need answers to our fuel problems, now! The dual-fueling of our stock auto engines with ammonia-gasoline meets our nations needs right now. We have a vehicle on the road running on ammonia-gasoline that is crossing the country, as you read this letter.

Cheers,

Wow I am so glad there are smart people out there who can develop things like this. I think this may be bigger than the greasecar phenomenon. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing some design schematics better yet a reasonably priced conversion kit. You will sell hundreds of thousands, if not millions. -Adrian

When are these conversion kits expected to be released, or is that too far in the future?

So... where are the kits? How did you do it? Will anyone be told? I'd be very interested in buying a system like this... Can ammonia be run in a propane fuel system, since the 2 fuels are similar in the way they can be handled and stored?
