You’ve likely heard how propane can power all kinds of appliances, like HVAC systems, ovens and vehicles. Many commercial businesses also use propane to power various types of machinery, such as generators and commercial kitchens. Propane is often used to power heaters and other appliances in the agriculture industry. Many commercial businesses switch to propane to reduce emissions and overhead fuel costs.
Commercial landscapers and farmers can also use propane in lawn mowers rather than traditional gas. Using alternative fuel in lawnmowers has many benefits, including long-lasting fuel efficiency and cleaner burning.
Propane-powered lawn mowers aren’t as common as the standard gas mowers, but those that have them benefit from using an alternative form of fuel. Unlike gasoline, propane is in a gas form and powers the lawnmower using a canister connected to the fuel line. The fuel line runs to the engine, and when the lawnmower is running, the propane combusts and creates the necessary energy to power the mower. The system also includes a pressure regulator, ensuring the propane pressure maintains a safe level.
You can buy a new commercial propane mower or convert your current mower to use propane. As gas prices rise, more people turn to propane lawn mowers to reduce their costs. Since propane has a lower carbon content than traditional gasoline, it’s better for the environment when it burns. Using propane instead of gas can improve your carbon footprint and make you more appealing to eco-friendly buyers.
