Indiana incentives for propane?

Do any of you guys know if Indiana has any incentives to use propane over gas? If you don't know any ideas on how to find out? I am seriously considering making the switch this winter to all propane mowers and handheld equipment. I am just going to convert my current mowers over since they only have very few hours on them. The handheld stuff I believe I am going to use Lehr trimmers and handheld blowers. I haven't found a backpack blower or hedge trimmer that is propane powered yet and the conversation kits I have seen are just to big and bulky. If any of you guys know of any handheld propane powered stuff let me know so I can check them out.

At this point, it doesn't apprear that Indiana is participatiing. That's something that we Reps get involved with. Indiana has shown substantial interest in propane carburetion so I will be involved in this respect.

For those who want to check your State for incentives go here:

As far as the smell, well, we have to put that in. As for propane availability a phone call will net you a rack that is restocked periodically. We're trying our best to make it as easy as possible to use our domestic fuel.


OOPS!! Indiana DOES have incentives! I didn't scroll down far enough...
