In addition to after-market conversions, BSI provides direct engineering and fuel system support to small engine OEM’s. ENERkit has a tamper-proof regulator, a newly designed duel venture mixer and not requiring a proprietary tuner. All ENERkit components are specifically designed and engineered for small engine use only.
The EPA-certified kits for Kawasaki FX801V engine qualifies for a $500 incentive through the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) Propane Mower Incentive Program. The program offers landscape professionals $500 toward each qualified propane mower conversion or $1000 toward each purchase of a new propane-powered original equipment manufacturer mower. In addition, many states offer incentives for converting off-road equipment to propane.
“The demand for a cleaner lawn care alternative is evident and on the rise, affecting the commercial industries of universities, cities & municipalities, and landscaping. Blossman Gas leads the way in propane-powered lawn equipment. Creation and conversion of mowers to propane has the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduces costs even prolong the life of the mower’s engine,” said Ed Hoffman, president of BSI.
