Clean Cities Coalitions Across the U.S. Host Record-Setting Propane Autogas Conversion Vehicle Converted F-150 and Mower on a 5500 mile “Alliance AutoGas Coast-to-Coast Clean Air Ride”
Fresh from setting a record for the Fastest Recorded Alternative Fuel Conversion to propane autogas in 1:32:25, the Alliance AutoGas converted F-150 is now set to embark on a 5500 mile 12-city “Alliance AutoGas Coast-to-Coast Clean Air Ride.”Alliance’s new Engineered Conversion System on a Bi-Fuel 2016 3.5 Liter Ford F-150 V6 was converted to propane autogas almost 30 minutes faster than the predicted 2 hour window at the recent Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. The F-150 is now “traveling the talk” on a 5500 mile U.S. coast-to-coast trip that starts in Kansas City, Kansas, on May 2nd, trailering a propane mower. The propane mower is a 2013 Exmark Lazer Z Ultra Cut 60. It is powered by a 25.5 horsepower Kawasaki FX801 V-Twin gasoline engine, converted to propane by Alliance Small Engines.
The Alliance AutoGas Engineered Fuel System features a single plug wiring connector and a 21-gallon underbody autogas tank. All wiring is a “plug and play” no cut install. Everything is bracketed and designed to be installed without any drilling or fabrication. By deploying these features, labor times and conversion costs are significantly reduced.
The Alliance AutoGas Coast-to-Coast Clean Air Ride is a 5500 mile, 12 city stop trip commencing on May 2ndin Kansas City, KS, travel to Seattle, WA, and completing its journey in Jacksonville, FL, on May 18. There will be an additional “homecoming” event scheduled on May 23 in Asheville, NC. Several Clean Cities Coalitions are planning events and activities during the refueling stops of the trip. The goal of the F-150’s trip is to underscore the importance and impact of reducing CO2 emissions through the use of propane autogas. According to Alliance AutoGas, “We want people to see first-hand, how simple and easy it is to convert a vehicle, how well it runs, and a how it gives the fleet manager a well-documented return,” noted Ed Hoffman, President of Blossman Services, Inc.
Stuart Weidie, President and CEO or Blossman Gas and President of Alliance AutoGas adds, “The cross country trip in Alliance Autogas’ Ford F150 will be a great opportunity to demonstrate why propane Autogas is the world’s #1 alternative fuel. We hope to educate citizens across the country about the extended range of autogas vehicles as well as the benefits of real costs savings and emissions reductions.”
