The United Propane AutoGas Solutions (UPAS Group), was 2018 sponsor of the Autogas Pavilion at the NPGA Southeastern Convention and strives to unite interested propane autogas beneficiaries to promote the advancement of propane use in vehicles and equipment as a viable, safe, clean, affordable, and recognized alternative fuel for the future, while utilizing one of America’s own natural resources.
Its mission is to create a group of “hands-on” technical members that are dedicated to working together to promote autogas and continue building the propane industry. Its goals are to have everyone involved from propane vehicle systems manufacturers, system installers and service points, manufacturers and installers of fueling infrastructure, propane fuel suppliers, propane fuel retailers, and fleet administrators, to be able to provide education and solutions to users of autogas.
QC Refueling Nozzle 
Elaflex displayed its ZVG2 EURO nozzle, a new ultra-low-loss, quick-connect-style nozzle that now has a latching device for ease of use by consumers. The ZVG2 EURO UL nozzle features a new-look “Nozzle Talker,” a large window display on the top of the nozzle that can be used for advertising or communicating important messages to your customers or operators. Both the latching mechanism and the Nozzle Talker can be retrofitted in the field. The nozzle requires little maintenance, is low-cost over the lifetime of the product, and is completely repairable. It comes with an 18-month manufacturer’s warranty.
Propane-Fueled Engines
Agility Fuel Solutions displayed its patented liquid propane injection technology, applied to its 366NG 6.0L propane engine and 488LPI 8L propane engine. In addition, Agility offers a full line of propane dispensers and fueling infrastructure packages.
Propane-Fueled Bobtail
ROUSH CleanTech is showing a Ford F-750 propane-powered bobtail with 6.8-liter V-10 low-NOx engine.
Propane Evacuation System 
The Propane Evacuation System from SLEEGERS is a self-contained unit that includes everything needed to safely and efficiently evacuate liquid and propane vapor from a motor fuel tank. Since current liquid-injection propane technologies require the opening of the motor fuel tank for filter replacement and pump service, the evacuation system provides the autogas industry with a safe and compliant service tool that also conserves all stranded fuel for reuse.
Cylinder Exchange Kiosk
SLEEGERS’ automated propane cylinder exchange kiosk allows customers to purchase or exchange 20-lb cylinders at any time without an attendant. The web-enabled kiosk is third-party certified to the applicable North American standards and is equipped with various safety features. It uses a secure PCI-compliant payment terminal that accepts debit and credit card transactions.
