ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Geneva, New York-based Phelps Sungas, Inc. is the newest propane AutoGas fuel supplier to join the national vehicle conversion and fueling network, Alliance AutoGas.

Founded in New York in 1939, Phelps Sungas, Inc. is one of the upstate area's oldest propane dealers – boasting more than 70 years of bringing affordable propane and top-tier customer service to the residents of New York's Finger Lakes region.  Sungas, with its service-centric philosophy, considers satisfied customers the foundation of its business and Sungas employees maintain long-term customer relationships.

The company's diverse offerings include both residential and commercial propane services, from home gas provision and appliance sales to bulk supply delivery, infrastructure for businesses, and forklift cylinder exchange. As the newest Alliance AutoGas partner, Sungas will bring clean AutoGas vehicle conversion and fueling infrastructure to New York's vehicle fleets.

• Equipment and labor to convert vehicles from gasoline to AutoGas
