Delta Liquid Energy wants to help you save money, especially amid the challenges presented by today’s economy. If you’ve been to a gasoline station lately, you’ve seen how the prices at the pump have steadily increased. Just imagine if you could have arranged to pre-buy your gasoline, locking in prices at a fi xed rate before it climbs?

DLE offers just that sort of arrangement for your propane use during the energy-intensive winter months. Crude oil prices are rising again and crude oil prices directly affect propane prices. Delta Liquid Energy’s Pre-Buy Program may be a safeguard against unstable prices.

How It Works

DLE can buy large quantities of propane at one fi xed price for winter delivery. As propane prices rise into the winter season, Pre-Buy customers use their Pre-Buy gallons, which were locked in at

typically lower prices when compared to the upcoming winter prices. Customers can usually save a bundle with this program.

Order TodayPre-Buy purchases must be paid in full by August 1, 2013. Pre-Buy deliveries will begin on or after October 1, 2013. Monthly payment plans* (made in 8 monthly installments) are available for a $25 set up fee, with the fi rst payment due by July 1, 2013. Quantities are available in 50 gallon increments.

*Pre-Buy Program customers that elect to use the monthly payment plan require a credit card on fi le for automatic withdrawal.

Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986

To comply with Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, we are obliged to issue the following warning:

PROPANE contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. State law requires us to warn you of the presence of these chemicals. Benzene, soot and formaldehyde are such chemicals. A trace amount of benzene may occur in propane, but will normally be consumed during combustion.

Exposure through leaking gas is possible. Soot and formaldehyde, byproducts of burning gas, are minimized by proper combustion. Delta Liquid Energy encourages all of its customers to use propane safely. You should read and follow all use, care, and manufacturer instructions for propane appliances and equipment. Proper ventilation and frequent inspection of propane appliances and equipment are highly recommended.

Our service technicians are available to check and adjust your propane gas appliances. A warning odor is added to propane so that leaks of unburned gas can be quickly detected. If gas odor is detected, call us immediately.

For More InformationIf you would like more details or to sign up for the Pre-Buy Program, simply refer to the service locations list printed on Page 3 and call a Delta Liquid Energy offi ce nearest you today.

Driving Down Fuel PricesGas prices have gone through the roof this year. For those ready to think about cheaper, greener, and domestically produced alternatives that perform as well as gasoline or diesel, propane again provides the answer. Propane “autogas” powers more than 15 million vehicles in more than 38 countries, and the upward trend is growing as drivers and fl eet operators learn of the enormous savings to be made by switching. Propane prices are around 30% lower, per gallon, than gasoline. If that’s not convincing enough, propane fuel reduces carbon monoxide emissions from vehicles by as much as 60 percent. Furthermore, autogas trucks such as the new Roush Ford F-250 have been shown to perform just as well on the road as their gasoline-powered counterparts. Visit www.arroautogas.com for more information. ARRO Autogas is a division of Delta Liquid Energy.

Upgraded AppliancesEnergy effi ciency is one of the keys to reducing emissions and reducing spending. Save on monthly utility costs by upgrading to more effi cient, propane-powered ENERGY STAR clothes dryers, stoves, ovens and other appliances. Not only will these

new appliances run cleaner and more effi ciently, but you can also save on purchases through sales tax exemptions, credits, or rebates. Rebates are also often available for properly disposing of old and ineffi cient appliances.

Propane-Powered Money-Savings!Think Greener and Domestically Produced

Each year, thousands of people save money by powering their home heating systems with propane. But as the warmer months roll in, and heater dials are rolled back, the ways to save money with propane are just beginning. The clean-burning, domestically produced energy source is slashing consumers’ spending in numerous areas and applications.

Mow-PowerHave you ever considered that you could be saving dough while you mow? Landscaping companies operating commercial-grade mowers have been shown to cut fuel cost, reduce landscapers’ work hours and improve effi ciency by switching to propane-powered mowers (www.propanemarc.com). Additionally, mowing with propane eliminates fuel spills. Each year, 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled by non-propane powered landscape equipment. Keep lawns trimmed, the earth clean, and your wallet full with a propane mower.

Commercial-grade propane mowers cut fuel costsand improve effi ciency.

Open Valves, Big Danger

Most responsible homeowners and businesses enjoying the power of propane fi nd that its benefi ts far outweigh its risks. However, potential risks can become serious problems if not recognized and secured. Uncapped and/or unplugged propane gas pipes can create very unsafe situations. Ask yourself this very important question,

“Do I have any gas pipes in my home or business that are not connected to an appliance?”

For example, this might be an electric model clothes dryer instead of a gas model. If the answer is yes, then take comfort in knowing that capping any open pipe outlet is an easy fi x, with the proper instruction.

All gas pipe outlets, including manual shutoff valves, must be closed and also capped with a threaded plug, threaded cap, or fl are cap at the end, until a gas appliance is connected.

Secure ManualShutoff ValuesYou may have manual shutoff valves on propane lines in your home that are not connected to appliances. These manual shutoff valves, which are equipped with a handle for opening and closing the valves, must additionally have a cap or plug on the end when not connected to an appliance — even though the valve handle is in the closed position. It is important to know that the handle on the manual shutoff valve can be pushed open by something brushing against it. This can be out of your control, such as a washing machine with an unbalanced load, or a child, guest, or yourself, that accidentally engages the valve by making contact with it. Please note, once the valve is opened, gas can be released, which may result in a fi re or explosion.

Get Safe TodayShould you discover an uncapped, or unplugged gas appliance valve, and are not confi dent in your ability to safely secure the pipe by yourself, please contact your local Delta Liquid Energy offi ce. As a valued customer, we will be happy to secure any valve to ensure your safety.
