The Alliance AutoGas Coast-to-Coast Clean Air Ride http://www.allianceautogas.com/resources/coast-to-coast-clean-air-ride/
launches on Monday May 2, at 10 a.m., from Richard L. Berkley
Riverfront Park in Kansas City, MO. The converted F-150 will travel
across the country to Seattle, WA, and back through the U.S., stopping
along the way, to complete its journey
in Jacksonville, FL, on May 18, followed by a Homecoming event in
Asheville, NC, on May 23. Eleven Clean Cities Coalitions and companies
committed to using propane autogas as an alternative fuel are hosting
programs at the fueling stops.
Stuart Weidie, President and CEO of 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 on the extended range of autogas vehicles as well as the
benefits of real costs savings and emissions reductions.”
Alliance’s new Engineered Conversion System, installed 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. Behind the autogas truck, they will be trailering
a 2013 Exmark Lazer Z Ultra Cut 60 propane mower. It is powered by a
25.5 horsepower Kawasaki FX801 V-Twin gasoline engine, converted to
propane by Alliance Small Engines.
