Q: Do I need to make changes to my shop to service propane autogas vehicles?

A: No. Facility adjustments are not needed to accommodate propane autogas vehicles. In order to meet emission standards, today’s diesel vehicles require expensive equipment and high-maintenance systems, which aren’t needed on propane autogas vehicles. And for those who prefer to outsource maintenance, companies such as ROUSH CleanTech have 400 service centers throughout the U.S.

Some operators say that they’re glad of one change in their facilities: when they service propane autogas vehicles in their shops, there are a lot less fumes!
