Reasons to Use Budget Propane for Your Commercial Fleet

Written by James Callow | Tue, Apr 02, 2013 @ 02:39 PM


Propane has long been recognized as an ideal alternative fuel to gasoline. Many of today's commercial fleets that use gasoline experience high costs. Fuel is typically the second-highest cost in the operation of a commercial fleet. There are several compelling reasons to use propane as your fuel source instead of gasoline.

  • Propane is one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels available. Propane is a liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG. While it is derived from petroleum like gasoline and fuel oil, is one of the most simplified hydrocarbons to be used as fuel. It is very lightweight and burns cleanly, without the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that come from using fuel oils, diesel, or gasoline.

  • Utilizing propane as the primary source of fuel for your commercial fleet is an excellent way to make an eco-conscious move for your business. It has both actual and apparent value due to the fact that it reduces your carbon footprint while improving your business image.
  • Propane can be used indoors. Because propane naturally dissipates as vapor, it is ideal for warehouse applications where forklifts and other equipment can utilize it as a source of fuel. This is ideal for businesses or industries that need an interior fleet of specialty vehicles and cannot rely upon gasoline or other harmful exhaust-producing fuels.
  • Propane can be stored onsite or delivered. Your fleet vehicles can easily refuel between your satellite locations, or return to base and be replenished with large storage tanks on your property.
