#293 of 353 Re: Where to get CNG fueled vehicle labels? [ngvdrivers] by cnguser Sep 21, 2007 (9:29 pm)
Replying to: ngvdrivers (Sep 20, 2007 9:53 pm) You could likely order the real "GX" from the parts department at a Honda dealer for any 2005 or older model, as they no longer are branding the various new Civic models for some reason....makes them all appear the same so you can't tell the spendy ones from the others I guess.   Thanks for the links on the decals.
#294 of 353 Ford Contour Natural Gas Transmission Problems by marty2611 Sep 23, 2007 (6:05 am)
All, I have a 2000 Ford Contour with 48000 miles. The transmission has gone out and they want $3,000 to fix it. Has anyone tried to remove the Natural Gas system and put on another car such as a Ford Focus? Or should I just part it out? It has the new module that Ford replaced under warranty and I just hate to junk it out.

Replying to: marty2611 (Sep 23, 2007 6:05 am) Where are you located? How much do you want for the car?   Thank you, Jim Kuhlman York, PA

Replying to: marty2611 (Sep 23, 2007 6:05 am) Marty...the cng kits are only for certain cars...I doubt that there is one for the Focus, so you won't be able to transfer your system to another. But, you may be able to get another transmission cheaper than 3K, depending on where you are. We have a Geo Prizm here in AZ, and all the transmission places wanted 3K also for a new/rebuilt one, but we found a mechanic that had someone rebuild one for $750 and then our mechanic installed it for $100 for a total of $850 and it works great!

Replying to: marty2611 (Sep 23, 2007 6:05 am) 1. You might consider donating it to a local community college automotive program. The CNG aspect might be of special interest there. You can get a tax credit. 2. Check out more places to quote the transmission fix. That $3K seems rather off the scale... With a warranty replaced compuvalve, that car should run a LONG time. Just remember imported oil is not getting cheaper.   I own 2 of the same model with replaced compuvalves - everything is running quite OK. One will be for sale shortly, to be replaced with a Civic GX.

Replying to: patcng (Aug 22, 2007 1:57 pm) Can you email me your phone number? I would like to talk to you about extending the Fuelmaker hours.

Please reply with information on your FuelMaker FMQ-36 (is it actually an FMQ-2-36?). How many hours do you have on the compressor? Do you have an indoor fill attachment or is it only for outdoor?   We have a Honda Civic GX and have owned it new since Dec. 1998. We are not impressed with Phill, especially since FuelMaker originally told us that it would cost $2,000 the first year and would drop to $1,000 within a year or two. We almost purchased a used FMQ-2-36 5 years ago, but held off waiting for Phill. That was a mistake, since Phill came out $700 higher than the used FMQ-2-36.   We live in California, near Sacramento, but have relatives in Queen Creek, so transportation would be an easier problem to solve.   Thanks for the information.
