Safety is Key.

Propane Autogas is the not just the best economical choice you can make for your district, it's also the safest for your students. Here's why:

Lower emissions 

The clean burning nature of propane reduces harmful emissions and helps everyone (especially the kids standing at the bus stop) to breathe a little easier. When compared to diesel bus systems, use of propane Autogas led to a 95% reduction in harmful nitogen oxides. (source)

Quieter Operation 

Propane Autogas engines run quitter than diesels, leading to less noise pollution in  inside the bus and around your community. Drivers need to be able to hear students and propane helps that happen.

Safer Handling

Dirty diesel has a way of getting where it shouldn't be. With Propane Autogas, spills are a thing of the past, leading to a hazard-free shop and happy drivers and mechanics.

Spring has officially sprung. Those April showers didn’t just bring May flowers. It brought in calls to the energy division that flooding on some of our customer’s property tipped over their propane tanks. The first thing propane tanks do when the water gets high enough for them to float is roll over. This rollover can allow liquid to reach the vapor valve. The last thing you want coming through a propane line and traveling to your house is propane liquid. It can cause a pressure surge, which over-pressurizes the piping, regulators and appliance valves. This can cause leaks and a potentially very dangerous situation.
