Ford Transit Engine Conversion to Propane Autogas in Development

Ed Hoffman, President of BSI, has announced that the Ford Transit 3.7L engine conversion to propane autogas is in development and expected to go in for EPA certification in early 2015.

The Bi-Fuel system conversion on the Transit requires no intake manifold drilling, cutting, or splicing of wiring.

A warranty of 5 years or 100,000 miles is standard and the Transit will be the first plug & play conversion to be installed by AAG.

The Ford Transit vans and wagons are available in single and dual-rear wheels models, with three body lengths and three roof heights to choose from. Configurations cover 8, 10, 12 and 15 passenger seating, providing flexible cargo volume and payload options.

Compared with the previous Ford full-size E-Series van, the all-new Transit Wagon offers higher fuel economy ratings and is designed to haul cargo or carry people. The 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 surpasses the E-Series standard 4.6L V8 gas engine in EPA estimated highway mpg by 19 percent.

Alliance AutoGas (AAG) is managed by its parent company Blossman Gas Inc. Alliance AutoGas and its extended partners are comprised of more than 100 independent propane marketers and authorized conversion centers in 48 states plus Canada.
