XSI Alternative Fuel Systems
 |
Save 20% to 40% on Fuel Costs |
Oviedo Boat and RV Storage and Autotronics and have partnered with Blue Horizon Autogas to offer the XSI Alternative Fuel Upgrade System . The XSI system gives your gasoline-powered vehicle the flexibility to operate on gasoline or propane autogas with the flip of a switch! There’s also an XSI-D system for use on diesel-powered vehicles .
Propane Benefits 1
Propane (also known as liquefied petroleum gas or LPG) is a well-established, domestically available, clean-burning fuel. Using propane as a vehicle fuel would increase energy security, provide convenience and performance benefits, and improve public health and the environment.
Increasing Energy Security
The United States imports more than 60% of its petroleum, two thirds of which is used to fuel vehicles in the form of gasoline and diesel. The demand for petroleum imports is increasing. With much of the worldwide petroleum reserves located in politically volatile countries, the United States is vulnerable to supply disruptions.
Fueling produced domestically and propane fueling stations are widely available. Propane has one of the highest energy densities of all alternative fuels, so propane vehicles go farther on a tank of fuel. It is also an exceptionally safe fuel: propane tanks are 20 times more puncture resistant than gasoline tanks, and propane has the lowest flammability range of all alternative fuels.
Protecting Public Health and the Environment
Compared with vehicles fueled by conventional diesel and gasoline, propane vehicles can produce significantly lower amounts of some harmful emissions and the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.
The XSI Alternative Fuel System
A Truly “Plug-n-Play” System
The XSI system is compatible with any vehicle and utilizes “plug-n-play” technology. If you sell or otherwise decide to dispose of a vehicle which contains an XSI system, you can simply “unplug” the XSI system components, and plug them into your new vehicle, as long as the number of cylinders is the same (if not, you can simply change out a few related components). Once the components are plugged into the new vehicle and calibrated (a simple process), your new vehicle is ready to go! And removing the XSI system components from your old vehicle leaves all your old vehicle’s original equipment intact so you can sell your old vehicle as a standard gasoline vehicle!
Additional Benefits of the XSI Alternative Fuel System:
- The XSI system automatically calibrates itself based on climate and altitude to operate flawlessly, regardless of where you’re driving.
- The XSI system is 100% non-disruptive. We don’t change any of your vehicle’s original safety, emissions or diagnostics controls. Information is gathered by the XSI computer so that using alternative fuel “feels” exactly like using gasoline.
- Equipping your vehicle with an XSI system can reduce your fuel costs by 20-40%.
- Propane has been proven as a transportation fuel for over ninety years. It’s the third most commonly used fuel in the United States, behind gasoline and diesel.
- Using propane reduces emissions while still providing the power required by today’s vehicles.
- Vehicles equipped with the XSI system are Qualified Alternative Fuel Motor Vehicles (QAFMV) , making them potentially eligible for federal tax credit.
- Government grants for vehicle conversion and supporting infrastructure expense may be available, depending on the type & size of conversion effort.
- Propane allows engines to run clean without sacrificing performance (104 octane rating).
- Propane burns cleaner than gasoline.
- Cleaner-burning propane can help extend the life of your engine (propane burns much cleaner than gasoline).
- New production methods make bio-propane a truly renewable resource.
- You decide whether you want to operate primarily on gasoline or propane autogas.
- The XSI Fuel System Upgrade keeps your entire gasoline fuel system intact and in 100% compliance with current environmental laws and standards.
- Easy to switch between gasoline & propane fuels using a dash-mounted switch/button.
- This is proven technology — over 1 Million systems have been installed worldwide.
The XSI-D System for Diesel Vehicles: Save 20-30% on Fuel Costs
The XSI-D is a dual-fuel (blending) upgrade for any size diesel engine. The XSI-D adds propane to the diesel fuel, increasing fuel burn rate to 98% vs. the normal diesel burn rate of 55-70%. The XSI-D allows the diesel engine to run at peak efficiency while simultaneously reducing engine emissions.
“ The XSI Fuel System was not designed to make your vehicle run on an alternative fuel. It was designed to make an alternative fuel run on your vehicle. It is this distinct difference in function and design that allows the system to give you all of the performance you currently enjoy from your vehicle.
With the price of gasoline skyrocketing, the opportunity for significant fuel savings has never been greater. Individuals, fleet owners and municipal, state and federal organizations can reap substantial cost savings, while also significantly reducing harmful vehicle emissions. Many can also benefit from federal and state incentives.
