4. Propane Project
 First we looked at our ROI and found that we could
utilize a green technology and also, increase our
bottom line
 We then decided that it would be best to install our
own propane re-fueling station with the following
reasons in mind
 Locations currently available
 Price of buying bulk propane
 Ease of accessibility

5.  We began to look for a propane vendor
 We chose to proceed with Boehlke Bottle Gas mainly
due to pricing but also…
 We used Boehlke Bottle Gas to aid us in researching
and coming up with a plan for the new site
 Site Preparations
 Rules and Regulations
 Training Requirements

6.  Site Description
 2-1990 Gallon Tanks
 Clean Fuel USA 2000 Series Meter System
 Blackmer LPG Pump with a 7.5hp motor
 Petrovend K-800 with Phoenix software
 Automatic Changeover Control for Compressed
Nitrogen
 Before fueling the site asks for fleet number and
odometer

7. Vehicles
 Currently our Airport Shuttle vans average around
100,000 miles a year each
 We have 45 vans that service Southeastern Wisconsin
with transportation to and from Mitchell International
and O’Hare International Airport
 We Utilize Ford E-350 vans with a 5.4L engine in them
 We chose to go with used 2009 model year vans
 These vans had mileages between 30,000 to 100,000
miles when we completed the installs

8.  Current Fuel mileages on the vans is about 10.3MPG
over a sample of 150,000 miles.
 Our current cost of propane is on average less than
$2.00 per gallon with all taxes included

9. The Bumps in The Road
 Driver adjustments to the propane vehicles
 Range limits of the vehicles and the adjustments to
them
 The amount of time it takes to get parts to repair the
propane kit components

10. Million Dollar Question
Would we recommend this fuel to others?
 We plan on purchasing 9 more kits for our Airport
Shuttle vehicles to bring our total to 30 of 45 vans
running on propane
 These kits will feature the extended range tank to
decrease range limits with the vehicles
 We plan on adding a propane school bus along with a
commercial bus that runs on propane
