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.
