    Propane AutoGas

    Propane Autogas has many different benefits. Here are the top 5 reasons why major bus companies are switching to Propane AutoGas.

    1. COST SAVINGS & PRICE STABILITY

      1. By switching from diesel to propane, companies were able to realize savings in the tens of thousands of dollars. Plus, propane markets are less volatile so you can lock in a price for the next 1-2 years and better manage cash flow. In the business of bussing, every dollar counts.

    2. QUICK ROI

      1. Based on customer provided data, converting to Propane Autogas pays for itself in 10-14 months.

    1. DECREASED MAINTENANCE

      1. Propane burns cleaner and leaves less particulate matter in the system, leading to less time in the shop and more miles on the road.

    1. WINTER STARTABILITY

      1. Engine gumming is the last thing cold drivers want to deal with. Propane starts up right - no matter what Mother Nature throws at us.

    1. SUSTAINABILITY

      1. Companies going green is a good look for business and for the environment. The combustion of Propane Autogas leads to a 30% reduction in emissions over diesel.

    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.
