PRO 2000-E (TM) FLEET PROFILE

Mecosta-Osceola County Area Transit
18710 16 Mile Rd.
Mecosta , MI 49307
616 796 4896

Contact:
Chris Burke Maintenance Supervisor

Vehicles:
15 Propane powered vehicles... 14x427cu. Chevrolet buses
1 duel fuel pickup
All use Impco Carburetion Systems.

Prior to using PRO 2000-E treated fuel the Mecosta-Osceola Tr. fleet:

Did 10 vaporizer rebuilds per year.

Had problems with wax build up in vaporizers. Chunks of wax would carry over to the carburetor and shut the bus down.

Tuned their buses every 25 to 30 thousand miles and changed the fuel filter each time.

Since using PRO 2000-E treated fuel the Mecosta-Osceola Tr. fleet:

Has no problems with wax build up in vaporizers.

Tunes their buses every 40 to 50 thousand miles and replaces the fuel filter every other time. The tune up is done because the distributor cap is worn out, the plugs are still clean.

Only rebuilds vaporizers when the parts wear out.

Summary:
Mr. Burke says he has reduced his total fuel related maintenance costs including labor by over 70%. At one point Mr. Burke decided to treat every other delivery of propane with PRO 2000-E. Between two and three months later the problems began to reoccur. They went back to treating every delivery and the problems were eliminated.
