Autogas Incentive Programs

Autogas Refueling Infrastructure Incentive Program & Refueling Loactor

The goal of the Refueling Infrastructure Incentive Program is to increase the number of Self- Service Public-Access refueling facilities for propane vehicles across the state of MN. Possible locations of such a facility would be:

• At an existing gas station/convenience store with the dispenser located on an island similar to the gas and diesel pumps
• At an existing gas station/convenience store located as a separate unit, but highly visible
• At an existing gas station/convenience store, where a propane cylinder dispenser is currently located, and is modified to include an Autogas dispenser unit.
• All locations must allow for 24 hour refueling capability.

Once you have your refueling station in place or if you are running on autogas and need to find a filling station that provides autogas - CLICK HERE to find a location near you and/or to add your location to the list for autogas refueling.
