Today was the last day of the road tour for the propane-fueled Ford F-250. We mapped all the propane refueling stations within 15 miles or so of the truck's route during our planning. We found at least 1 every 30 minutes not including Flying J service stops or propane marketers. You
can find the propane refueling locations near you at the Department of Energy Alternative Fuels Data Center.
After more than 2,400 miles, we were curious about our oil usage, too. Here is a picture of the dipstick. You can see that the crankcase is full and the oil is clean. Propane is one of the cleanest burning fuels and doesn’t leave lead, varnish, or carbon deposits that can cause premature wear of pistons, rings, valves, and spark plugs. With less maintenance and lower fuel costs than gasoline vehicles, propane-fueled pickups can help farmers decrease operating costs by as much as 38 percent.
The tour is over but you can continue to visit http://www.propanepickup.com/ or @PropanePickup on Twitter for continued updates. The next stop for the propane pickup is the Sunbelt Ag Expo in Moultrie, Georgia - September 20 - 22.
