Safe & Convenient
Used with care, propane is a safe and convenient fuel. Propane gas is not toxic. However, should a leak occur, the build-up of propane gas can become dangerous. Because propane is heavier than air, it tends to settle in the lowest available space.
Vehicle Maintenance
Your vehicle should be maintained by a licensed propane facility. This will ensure years of safe and trouble-free operation of your environmentally friendly propane powered vehicle!
Driving Range
Your vehicle will have close to the same driving range as gasoline. Some vehicles can be fitted with more than one tank to extend the driving range.
Vehicle Warranty
The vehicle’s warranty is not influenced by converting the vehicle to propane. If a problem with the vehicle is found to be associated with the conversion, our warranty will cover the repair.
