Fueling Options for University Fleet Vehicles
The State of Texas HB432 requires all State Agencies (including the university) to procure alternative fueled vehicles, and to use alternative fuels whenever available. The University complies by providing regular unleaded gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, ethanol (E85), and propane, at the UT fueling stations. Self-service fueling is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to all State Agencies.
Onsite Fueling
If you are in Travis County, you must use one of the university fuel stations. The university has fuel stations at the Pickle Research Campus (Bldg SV1) and on main campus at Manor Rd and IH-35 (Bldg FC7).Special Prokees are required to use these stations and are available at the automotive shops. The Prokee will allow only specific fuel types, and are tied to a specific vehicle. Each vehicle will have a unique Prokee which should be used only for that vehicle. Prokees cn also be programmed for "other" equipment such as lawn mowers, generators, etc.
