How to Order
Retrofit a Vehicle You Already Own
If you’ve bought a 2012 or newer Ford E-450 DRW cutaway van, you can convert your vehicle and begin saving immediately by installing a ROUSH CleanTech liquid propane fuel system in your 6.8-liter V10 configuration. These retrofit systems can be installed at any one of our conveniently located ROUSH CleanTech authorized installation centers.
The 41-gallon propane tank of the Ford E-450 DRW cutaway, which replaces the aft of rear axle gasoline tank, gives you plenty of range between fueling. The fuel tank’s location also means conversion doesn’t affect Ford body specs, so any upfitter body applications can be installed without modification. For ordering information and price, please call 800.59.ROUSH or contact one of our authorized dealers.

Benefits
Operating Costs: Reduced
Propane autogas vehicles are known for their extended engine life and reduced maintenance costs compared to gasoline vehicles. Propane’s higher octane rating and lower carbon and oil contamination rate not only helps you to save our ‘green’ environment, but saves you ‘green’ at the bank, too. Check out this Savings Calculator that lets you know how much you could save by switching to propane today.
Emissions: Reduced
As little as one gallon of spilled gasoline can quickly contaminate groundwater above drinking water health advisory levels. Propane, on the other hand, is not a groundwater contaminat. Fueling with nontoxic propane autogas means operating on a safer, cleaner fuel that produces:
- 20 percent less nitrogen oxide
- 60 percent less carbon monoxide
- Up to 24 percent fewer greenhouse gas emissions
- Fewer particulate emissions
