Gas company expands Mich. distribution

TAMPA — MagneGas Corp. has signed an agreement with AccuGas LLC for the Jackson, Mich.-based company to distribute MagneGas fuel to the southern portion of Michigan.

Tampa-based MagneGas produces a natural gas of the same name as a hydrogen-based metal-working fuel similar to natural gas that can be made from certain liquid wastes. MagneGas promotes the fuel as a cleaner burning and less expensive alternative to acetylene and propane.

The agreement with AccuGas is part of MagneGas's strategy to focus on selling its fuel through independent regional distributors.
