Walsh said the company also wanted to incorporate propane autogas into its fleet for the environmental benefits. “It was probably the simplest training we’ve ever had to do after a new bus purchase.” “Blue Star Gas provided some ‘How-To’ videos for our mechanic, and helped us get a computer program that we could plug right into the fuel system and it would tell us if everything was running properly or if there were any error codes and what that meant,” Walsh said. Blue Star Gas, a major supplier of propane in the western United States, introduced PreFlight Airport Parking to propane autogas and helped the company with conversions and training.

“The CNG – which we have at several locations – is a lot more expensive and a lot more complicated to service.”Ī public fueling station that supplies propane autogas is close enough to not inconvenience the fleet, but the company is also working with Blue Star Gas to install an on-site refueling station. They were not designed for the type of driving we do which is low-speed, just to and from the airport,” Walsh said. “With diesel, we were having too many mechanical issues around the pollution control systems. The amount of time spent repairing complex diesel emissions systems and CNG fuel systems was a constant challenge for the company’s shuttles. “The price of the fuel was also attractive.”Īvoiding downtime on in-service buses was an important factor to the company in making the switch to propane, both in providing service to its customers and being able to service its vehicles quickly. “The propane system is much simpler than the CNG system, so our own in-house mechanic can do most of the repair work himself,” said John Walsh, PreFlight market officer. After experiencing technical issues with other fuels such as diesel, PreFlight was ready to make the switch to propane autogas. Three more of the vehicles, which can use either propane autogas or gasoline at the flip of a switch, will be converted by early summer, with the goal to eventually convert all 14 shuttles used at Sky Harbor International Airport. The company first converted three of its Ford E-450 shuttles to propane autogas bi-fuel systems in 2016.
