This this app is the best way to find hydrogen stations of all the apps that are out there now. The best part is you can easily get directions to the stations with two clicks. The one thing the app is missing is the actual station information in terms of how much hydrogen is available on a per station basis. If the app developers could include SOSS information on a per station basis it would blow all the other apps out of the water. It would also take an incredible amount of frustration away from obtaining SOSS information from the California Fuel Cell Partnership’s invaluable but cumbersome station information form because it’s browser only. Kudos to the programmers. This is an incredibly well written app.

I’m done using google maps to find me my diesel pumps when I’m out and about in an area I don’t know. I was low on fuel, trying to find a diesel pump somewhere, and having no luck at all. I pulled over and I found this outdated looking application from the iPhone 3G days. Luckily, this app works like a banger! Sees your current location and links up to Apple Maps (make an option for google maps) for directions to the gas station! BOOM! Easy and done! Select your fuel and drive to the nearest location via what the apps tells ya to!

While the app generally does a fine job of listing stations that uses alternative fuel, my concern is that there is no such option for renewable diesel (R20 or R99), as well as whether the app can keep up to date on availability of renewable diesel fuel sources in addition to E85. Furthermore, there needs to be updated data as to which stations can accommodate Class 8 trucks. Moreover, there are no alternative fuel stations (especially E85 and renewable diesel, both R20 and R99) to fuel up trucks within the state of California that hugs the border with Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and down south to Mexico. Until there’s a major update to the app involving renewable diesel, it’s best to stick with the website. (The website itself also looks outdated.)

I picked up a 500hp turbocharged 99 Civic from Indiana ~370 miles from home in southeast Michigan. I wasn’t sure how I’d find E85 for this vehicle on the drive home, but after a quick google search I was directed to the Alternative Fueling Stations app. It’s not 100% accurate, but provides you a phone number to dial ahead and double check that the station truly carries the fuel you desire/require for your machine. I came to find out that the majority of Meijer gas stations offer E85 fuel. Major win!
