Ferrellgas Fleet To Add ROUSH Propane-Powered 2010 Ford F-250

June 10, 2009
By Benson Kong

As one of the largest propane distributor in the nation, it was only natural for Ferrellgas Partners to become involved with a ROUSH Liquid Propane Injected Ford F-250. Tomorrow, June 11, Ferrellgas will receive the keys to its propane-powered 2010 F-250 from company founder and chairman of the board of directors Jack Roush during a special presentation at the ROUSH Automotive Collection facility in Livonia, Michigan.

Following the presentation, the propane-powered F-250 will be driven from Livonia, Michigan, to Ferrellgas headquarters in Overland Park, Kansas. In an effort to spread awareness of the benefits of propane-powered vehicles, the drive back will be dubbed a Road Show, running June 15-18. The Road Show will make several educational stops along way. Ferrellgas president and chief operating officer Steve Wambold will handle the drive and Road Show and is likely to conduct additional shows in other parts of the country this summer.

Wambold states, "Our goal at Ferrellgas is to promote the use of propane as a certified green fuel, as an excellent way for vehicle and machine fleets to curb emissions and for fleet owners to lower vehicle expenses while receiving significant tax incentives."

Why is Ford only offering a small 5.4 liter V8 in the 3/4 ton truck with propane? For serious haulers, use the 6.8 liter V10 engine in this truck and get an aftermarket company to do the conversion with a dual fuel LPG conversion. That V10 engine has 400 foot pounds of torque at 2,000 RPM with a high of 445 FT LBS at just over 3,000 RPM and will last longer than the diesel if you use semi-synthetic engine oil of at least 15W40 or better. Always have the conversion done by geting the shop to leave the gasoline system in place in case you run out of LPG in the boonies.
 I have driven commercial vehicles on propane for over 1 million miles & another 1 million on diesel, CNG or gasoline. Propane is the best as it birns 4 times faster than diesel & twice as fast as gasoline. OPEC doesn't control LPG and trucks under 10,000 GVW get a Fed tax deduction in the USA of $3,000, so even smaller V8 or V6 trucks get a break. LPG is 105 octane, so your engine will not ping if you have tranny cooler & use DIESEL lube oil.
