Fuel Prices, Consumption and Taxes
Gas and Diesel Fueled Engines
| Price: with the ever changing price of fuel we have listed some important information and tax savings you may want to consider when purchasing the Butler System or as a Butler System and van owner. Consumption: Fuel consumption is estimated to be 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 gallons of fuel per hour with the Butler System in operation. However, consumption may vary due to the quality of fuel, the blending of fuel in various regions of the country, summer and winter fuel blends, presence and/or volume of oxygenates and additives, fuel temperatures, octane/cetane ratings, altitude, climate, ambient temperature, condition of the vehicle’s engine and the general condition of the Butler System. Fuel economy estimates for commercial vans and trucks are not provided by the EPA. However, customers who have purchased 2008 models are reporting fuel mileage improvements over previous model year(s). One customer with multiple vans reported as much as a 20% decrease in overall fuel consumption. Fuel consumption is dependent, in addition to the variables listed above, on the payload, driving conditions, terrain and driving habits of the operator. Taxes: The cost of fuel is a 100% tax deductible expense, when your van or truck is used for business. Also, a federal fuel tax credit of $.183 per gallon for gasoline and $.243 for diesel fuel (refer to IRS Form 8849, Schedule 1) may be claimed when a commercial vehicle is used off-highway for business, such as, when the Butler System is in operation. A state fuel tax credit/deduction may also be claimed, in most states, when the vehicle is used off-highway for business. Information on federal fuel tax credits and refunds can be obtained from IRS Publication 510. Consult your state taxing authority for exact information regarding your particular state’s relevant refunds, credits or deductions. Seek the advice of a tax advisor for verification and additional information. |

IMPORTANT Freeze Damage Information
If the Butler System has experienced a freezing situation anywhere within its components, there is a possibility that other unforeseen complications may appear sometime in the future. Replacing the part or parts that were obviously damaged from freezing will solve the immediate problem. However, it is unseen damage that may cause one or more of the System’s components to fail at any time. Exposing any mechanical component to freezing will put excessive stress on that component and may cause distortion and premature part failure. This distortion may not become evident for months. In fact, a part may fail in the middle of the summer, and its cause is the direct result of freezing during the past winter.
The Butler System Owners Manual includes a section that provides the required procedures to winterize the Butler System in an effective, safe, and environmentally sound manner.
Butler Customer Service Representatives will be pleased to provide further assistance at 800.535.5025.
