GRAND RAPIDS, MI –The international Alliance AutoGas network continues to expand its alt-fuel network with the addition of its new fueling partner, Crystal Flash. Headquartered in Grand Rapids, Crystal Flash is the first Alliance partner based in Michigan.

“Fleets are looking for affordable alternative-fuel options now more than ever, so it was important to us to partner with Alliance AutoGas to get Michigan fleets running on clean, affordable, American-made autogas,” said Crystal Flash President Tom Fehsenfeld. “The Alliance network is growing to meet the needs of fleets wanting to cut fuel costs with a domestic clean fuel, and we’re proud to be a part of it.”

As an Alliance AutoGas partner, Crystal Flash brings Michigan a complete program to help regional fleets switch to propane autogas, including vehicle conversions, clean fueling, autogas fuel station installation, safety and operational training, and ongoing technical support.

The company has been delivering gasoline, diesel, and propane to businesses, farms, municipalities, and homes since 1932 and is one of Michigan’s largest family-owned-and-operated fuel companies, with more than 250 employees in several offices across the state.
