According to Construction Equipment:
Roush CleanTech developed an extended range fuel tank for the Ford E-450 chassis, which allows transit agencies to make fewer trips to the pump. With 64 usable gallons of propane autogas, the new tank holds 56 percent more fuel than the standard 41-usable gallon tank option.
Built on Ford’s 6.8-liter V10 engine, the Ford E-450 with extended range fuel system comes with an extended 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty exclusively for the transit industry.
Flint Mass Transportation Authority incorporated 101 standard range tank E-450s since 2011. The transit agency, which pays 75 cents per gallon for propane, saves about $70,000 per vehicle in fuel and maintenance during their normal lifecycle of 10 years and 350,000 miles, compared to conventionally fueled counterparts.
