“Propane buses start when it is cold outside versus diesel buses that have a tendency to gel up or we have to make sure we have #1 fuel or put diesel additives in the tank.

Central Valley Ag does a great job keeping our autogas dispenser full so we never have to worry about running out of propane.”
