Introducing Propane-Powered F-250/F-350

ROUSH recently announced the availability of the ROUSH Liquid Propane Injection (LPI) Conversion for 2009-2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 equipped with the 5.4L V-8 engine. Orders are being taken now. The new F-250/F-350 version is expected to hit showroom floors in August. 

According to the company, the F-250 or F-350 equipped with ROUSH LPI technology experiences no loss in horsepower, torque, or towing capacity, compared to previous propane conversions. Older technology relied on vapor injection. The ROUSH system, which leaves propane in the liquid state until injection, is 30 percent more powerful than the older technology.

The F-250/F-350 LPI Conversion helps fleets trim operating costs and reduce vehicle emissions. According to ROUSH, compared to gasoline, propane reduces harmful emissions by significant amounts: 

■ 18-percent less greenhouse gases.

■ 20-percent less nitrous oxide.

■ 60-percent less carbon monoxide.

■ Fewer particulate emissions. WT
