#340 of 353 Of Interest by yerth10 Mar 23, 2008 (7:53 am)
CNG powered vehicles are rapidly spreading everywhere especially in Asia & South America. This site give interesting stats on it http://ngvgroup.com/index.php?nav=estadisticas&PHPSESSID=062d6598b7cb1de342078a3- bedbf5136 According to it, there are 7.9 million CNG powered vehicles worldwide.   Also a Plastic LPG cylinder is being introduced in India which is lightweight. Pretty soon, Plastic CNG cylinder which may be lighter and durable and can carry more gas may be introduced soon giving a big boost to CNG powered vehicles. http://publication.samachar.com/pub_article.php?id=1558492&navname=Business%20&m- oreurl=http://publication.samachar.com/mumbaimirroronline/business/business.php&- homeurl=http://business.samachar.com

Am in touch with Brian of PA now. Also, I'm in the process of building my desiccant filter. Unfortunately, I am a little sidetracked with some repairs to my 01 F-150. Had a miss in cylinder #2 - seems to be the coil. Taking it apart I found a broken cng fuel injector sleeve. I may have broken it during disassembly. Anyway, I found a pretty good source for cng parts out of Fresno, CA. Hope to have it all back together sometime early next week.

#346 of 353 Government Auctions by robmmar Jun 07, 2008 (1:03 pm)
I have done quite a bit of research on CNG vehicles over the course of the last two years, and I am now ready to purchase something...probably a used Honda. Does anyone out there have any information on government auctions or other web sites I might be able to keep an Eye out for. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rob Replies to this message: marty2611 (Jun 07, 2008 3:09 pm) d_link (Jun 08, 2008 1:57 pm)

Replying to: robmmar (Jun 07, 2008 1:03 pm) Rob,   You may have missed the boat. CNG vehicles are the hottest vehicles on the market today. A honda Civic that I bought last year for $4700 is now selling for over $13000 with more miles. I saw 1999 Ford trucks go at the government auction on Friday for $20,000 with CNG and the same truck without CNG go for $4900. Good luck in your search but with the high cost of gasoline, CNG cars are demanding a premium price.

Replying to: robmmar (Jun 07, 2008 1:03 pm) We have owned a Honda Civic GX since December 1998 (80,000 miles) and know it to be an excellent vehicle. The only negative is that you must plan ahead if you intend to drive over 200 miles from your home (be certain that you have a current list of all public CNG refuel stations in your area--24 hour stations are preferred, but private ones are occasionally available if you contact them when in dire need and ask for assistance). Our current cost per gas gallon equivalent (gge) is $2.39. If we were to compress at home with our own FuelMaker or other compressor, the cost would drop to approximately half that amount per gge.   I don't know your US state, but following are the sites which I have used for assistance. Happy hunting:   CNG motors in Arizona (updating their site, but often had Hondas for sale in the past): http://www.cngmotors.com/index.php   Pacific Gas & Electric in California (our local CNG company): http://www.pge.com/cleanair/   Southern California Gas: http://www.socalgas.com/business/ngv/   California Natural Gas Vehicle Coalition (very valuable resource, but also updating their website): http://www.cngvc.org/cngvc.html   Natural Gas Vehicle Owners Association: http://ngvoa.com/   Clean Vehicle Education Foundation: http://www.cleanvehicle.org/   Natural Gas Vehicles for America: http://www.ngvc.org/   Honda USA site for Civic GX sales (new): http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-gx/   International Association for NGV (frustrating discovering all the alternatives available around the world when we have so few in US): http://www.iangv.org/   And FuelMaker, of course, though the Phill price jumped through the roof from initial expectations of $1,000 to $1,900 per unit (tax benefits reduce the current $3,500+ price, but...): http://www.fuelmaker.com/Products/NaturalGasRefueling/   David
