I came here out of curosity and I've read about 30 of these posts. I'm scratching my head wondering WHY in the world anybody would buy one of these units?? |

Replying to: jvenglass (Apr 05, 2008 11:41 am)  ) than buying it at a station (even a CE station!  ). It is strictly for convenience. And, it is so slow that sometimes you will wonder whether it's really convenient after all.

has anyone seen documents on how they rebuild the phill unit? Mine gives occasional error codes, not always the same ones. It also has taken longer to fill, which makes me think the compressor or dryer are going out. Yet it has low hours. I only want to get it working well enough for my 20 mile a day commute that I have now. I also smell too much natural gas when it first starts. . .which makes me think the solenoid valve that operates the dryer is going out. Not sure. My unit was filthy dirty from operating outside, makes me wonder why they don't have a air filter on the unit? No I don't want to pay $1000.00 to fix it at this time. photos of inside phill unit: http://ruderod.livejournal.com/181960.html?mode=reply phill photos

Replying to: airmar (Sep 25, 2006 2:56 pm)  doctordrain.com). He had me e-mail him some photos of the installation site, came out, and took care of business. He quoted me $1400, but gave me a $200 discount because the installation was so easy. Mike is a man of integrity and charges very reasonably for plumbing work. Months later, when the city repaved our alley, we phoned the city and complained that we wouldn't be able to refuel our car when the alley was being worked on. They sent a fireman to take a look (free of charge), and he was happy with the installation. That's the last I heard from anyone on the subject. In fact, Brea wanted to support alternative fuels so much, they cut us a check for the difference between refueling at home, and refueling at stations while the alley was blocked off. |

I just bought a Civic GX and found out that DMV is no longer giving out the HOV (white sticker). Does anyone know if this is true? I called DMV today and asked about the HOV sticker for my car, and that person kept on saying that they are no longer giving sticker for the HYBRID Vehicle (yellow sticker). He kept saying that the maximum numbers had been reach and that they are done with Hybrid. I know that they are done with those Hybrid HOV sticker, BUT what about my Natural Gas? Are they done with Natural Gas Vehicle as well?

Replying to: fly737 (May 07, 2009 3:55 pm) You should fill out the form and send it to the DMV. Make sure you fill it out correctly. It took about a month from the date I mailed the form until I received the stickers. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/reg/reg1000.pdf
