I know Marc was talking about looking into a CNG set up for our trucks.

I'm wondering about tanks and compressors plus the regulator stuff.

Anyone have any info.

Looks like we may be getting a couple of oil/gas wells drilled soon :ro)

There is a company in Canada that makes a compressor called the FuelMaker. It runs $5100, and compresses the equivalent of a gallon an hour. I estimate this to be around 125 cubic ft/hr. On a converted gas engine, they will get at least the same miles on the equivalent amount of gasoline. Anyway, the compressor has to be rebuilt every 4000 hours, and when I checked several years ago, this cost $400. So, you need to add 10¢ to every gallon pumped forever. It has a 2 hp motor, so it would probably be around a dime/hr in electric, at least with our regional price for power. I haven't priced tanks yet, but I know they are really expensive. There is a company locally that does conversions, they usually have a bunch of used ones. I just haven't had time to go forward with this project yet, but expect it to be very satisfactory from a performance standpoint. The high octane rating of cng should allow alot more gas under heavy load. I plan to use a different version of the lp regulator, plus it uses a high pressure water heated regulator. The system runs 3600 psi.

Marc, I see a guy (Clayton) in Warsaw is a dealer for the fuelmaker, is this the guy u know?

Yep, he's the guy. He and his brother own the local CNG refueling station. His brother does gas conversions. Clayton has a refuel station at his house for 30¢ a gallon cheaper than in town. I think the current price is $1.99/gal in town.
