EMERGING TRENDS: VEHICLE FUELING
New Fuels,
New Fueling
A pair of education sessions covers a new method for
delivering a traditional fuel, and updates in the development of
a potentially game-changing emerging fuel. By Angelo Verzoni
F
or years now, scientists, engineers, journalists, and
others have forecasted the death of the gasoline-powered internal-combustion engine, which has been under
the hoods of most cars since the early 20th century.
Predictions for what will replace it have varied, but most
of the alternatives have focused on battery- and hydrogen-powered technology.
But the death knell of gasoline-powered vehicles has
yet to sound, leaving the fire service to grapple not only
with concerns related to the continued push to replace
them but also those related to new technologies being
developed for them. Some of these concerns will be
addressed during two education sessions at the Conference & Expo-one on a new business model that's putting
gas stations on wheels and another on hydrogen fuel cells
designed to power vehicles.
The new old way
A couple of years ago, a new practice caught the attention of Lynne Kilpatrick, fire marshal in Sunnyvale,
California, and other fire service members across the
state. A number of Silicon Valley startups had set out to

shake up the U.S. gasoline industry by creating ways for
drivers to fill up their tanks with a few flicks of a finger.
Customers access the services via a smartphone app to
send trucks carrying gas to their parked cars, where an
employee of the fueling company then pumps in the
number of gallons selected by the customer.
There was just one problem: The fueling companies
were operating in violation of local fire codes. "We were
in a situation where we thought the business model was
interesting, but the code didn't allow for it," Kilpatrick
told NFPA Journal. Kilpatrick is one of three speakers
