68. Approaching Alternative-Fueled Vehicle Crashes - The Police Notebook" Described below are the key features and emergency approach procedures forfive of the most common types of alternativefueled vehicles (AFV). http://www.ou.edu/oupd/altfuel.htm

The purpose of this brochure is to assist law enforcement officers, fire services, emergency medical service providers and other public safety personnel who arrive on the scene of an alternative-fueled vehicle crash. Emergency personnel must identify the specific type of fuel and secure the scene so rescue work can begin. They also need to know when to call for trained personnel equipped with proper protective gear for assistance. The goal is to protect the first arriving emergency responders, occupants of the vehicles, and bystanders at the scene. Described below are the key features and emergency approach procedures for five of the most common types of alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV). The first objective is to identify the specific type of alternative-fueled vehicle. Look for special fuel ports, distinctive profiles, and any written markings on the vehicle. Except for selected local areas, these vehicles are not required to be identified and there are no standardized placards, logos or symbols for the identification of each type of AFV as there are for railroad tank cars and trucks. We have included several examples of identifying symbols for each alternative-fueled vehicle, however, these symbols may vary in size and color. L IQUEFIED P ETROLEUM G AS (LPG) and C OMPRESSED N ATURAL G AS (CNG) Examples of identification symbols for LPG-fueled vehicles are: Examples of identification symbols for CNG-fueled vehicles are: LOCATING THE LPG OR CNG FUEL CONTAINERS In most LPG or CNG vehicles, containers will be found in the trunk area, under the side panel of a van or school bus, on the frame, or in the bed of a pick up truck. Expect a majority of the vehicles to be owned by a fleet service such as buses, taxi cabs, or utility companies.

Programs and Capabilities Database Demonstrating the Performance of Alternative-Fueled Vehicles Description Since the mid-1980s, Argonne has accumulated more than 1.5 million miles in prototype and original-equipment-manufactured alternative-fueled vehicles. Argonne's demonstration fleet is larger and more diverse than any other within the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory system: more than 35 vehicles, including sedans, pickup trucks, and vans, are powered by natural gas, ethanol, and methanol. Gasoline-powered cars are used as controls. Also, Argonne participates in a cooperative demonstration of ethanol-powered Chevrolet Luminas. Partners in this effort include General Motors Corporation, Archer Daniels Midland (Decatur, Illinois), and the states of Illinois and Wisconsin. Information on derivability, fuel economy, maintenance, emissions, and other performance factors is being collected and forwarded to the Alternative Fuel Data Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado.

d Home Programs For State Agencies ... New York State is leading the way in the acquisition and use of clean fueled vehicles by its agencies, authorities, and universities. Governor Pataki has expressed his strong commitment to the use of clean fueled vehicles as part of the State's overall environmental conservation efforts. "The pursuit of clean air remains one of our greatest challenges. Last year, we gave New Yorkers the opportunity to buy the cleanest cars in the country... But we must not be complacent. We must set ambitious, long-term goals for the future. In 1995, New York State owned almost no clean-fueled vehicles. Today, almost 700 are on the road. This year, let's commit to ensuring that, by the end of this decade, every non-emergency vehicle purchased by State agencies roughly 1,500 each year are clean-fueled vehicles. This initiative will help attract more green businesses to New York, like the Baker-Ford partnership, which is creating 300 new jobs building electric vans, not in Michigan, but in the Mohawk Valley. We can make New York the national leader in clean air technology in this decade". Governor George E. Pataki

Approaching Alternative-Fueled Vehicle Crashes For Non-Firefighting Personal Ron Shaw, Fire Service Instructor and James J. Onder, Ph.D. Emergency personnel who arrive on scene of an alternative-fueled vehicle crash should try to identify the specific type of fuel involved and secure the scene to protect bystanders and passerby's. Police officers and other first responders also need to know when to call for trained personnel equipped with proper protective gear for assistance. The objective of this article is to protect the responders at the scene, occupants of the vehicles and bystanders. These are the key features and emergency approach procedures for five of the most common types of alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV). This is guideline is intented for the use by non-firefighting personnel responding to an incident with a inflammable/flammable vapor leak/spill. For first arriving units at the scene, which many times will be police officers, the first objective is public safety and if possible to try to safely identify the specific type of alternative-fuel leak/spill. Fire personnel with hazmat training will recognize special fuel ports, distinctive profiles, and any written markings on the vehicle. Except for selected local are as, vehicles are not required to be identified and there are no standardized placards, logos or symbols for the identification of each type AFV as they are for railroad tank cars and trucks. During the discussion that follows, we have included several examples of identifying symbols for each type of alternative-fueled vehicle. However, these symbols may vary in size and color throughout the country.

Alternative Fuels and the Vehicles that Use them Welcome About Us Steering Committee Stakeholders ... Join South Shore Clean Cities What Are Alternative Fuels? A lternative fuels (often called alt fuels for short) are domestically produced and cleaner burning alternatives to costly foreign oil. Using alt fuels reduces the amount of harmful emissions and greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere . . . a critical component to increasing air quality in Northwest Indiana, particularly Lake, LaPorte and Porter Counties. Alternative fuels include: Bio-diesel: diesel fuel blended with at least 20% of a domestically renewable resource such as soy oil or used food oils. Electricity: rechargeable battery or fuel cell power. Please note that vehicles that combine electricity and gasoline are not considered AFVs. Ethanol (E-85): a liquid alcohol fuel often produced from corn.

Earlier programs included demonstration programs with vehicles using "neat" ethanol and methanol; infrastructure development for methanol/gasoline blends - M85; support for and flexible fuel, natural gas and electric vehicles. Nearly 100 percent of the state's transportation system is fueled currently by fossil fuels. Moving toward a more diversified approach to fuels and supporting the advancement of higher efficiency vehicles is one of the goals of the State's programs.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS and VEHICLES Click here to download as pdf. C lick here to get Acrobat Reader. Propane Fueled Vehicles Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) consists mainly of propane, propylene, butane, and butylene in various mixtures. However, for all fuels in the United States, the mixture is mainly propane. Liquefied petroleum gas is a by-product from two sources: natural gas processing and crude oil refining. Most of the LPG used in the United States is produced domestically. More than 350,000 vehicles, mostly in fleets, are traveling the nation's highways under propane power. Propane is powering taxis in Las Vegas; school buses in Kansas City and Portland, Oregon; sheriff and police cars in other communities; and in dozens of commercial fleets around the U.S. Propane is used in both light- and medium-duty vehicles, and has been used as a transportation fuel around the world for more than 60 years. Like natural gas, propane-powered vehicles have less carbon build-up compared to gasoline and diesel-powered vehicles. According to the National Propane Gas Association, spark plugs in a propane vehicle last from 80,000 to 100,000 miles and propane engines can last two to three times longer than gasoline or diesel engines.
