I have timed out my Phill at 5600 hours. FM already knows about this and plans to used my Phill to test the "rebuildability" of the Phill. I shouldn't say that it timed out because it will still switch on but it will not pressure up. Towards the end of its life there was a significant deteriation in gge per hour became more like .10 - .25 gge per hour. Weather or not it makes sense to own a Phill remains to be seen. A used FMQ2 sells for the same amount as a new Phill, will pump more than a Phill, and is indefinately rebuildable at the cost of about $900. If the Phill pumps less and costs more to rebuild then wouldn't make much sense. People who own GX's are number crunchers and know exactly what they are paying for stuff.

I got an email from them and ordered one yesterday. Patricia told me to expect a 2-3 week lead time and then an additional week delay since the AQMD just started. How did you get yours to be shipped so soon? I already have my installer lined up too.
 
Thanks,

When I got my GX the first thing I was going to do was get a Phill. After figuring the economics, it will not save me a significant amount of money. I agree the convienience is great, but I am lucky to have a reliable station 4 miles from my house and costs me about 6-7 min in extra time on my commute home, which I can usually make up in the HOV lanes.
Eventually I will probably get one.

Reasons for Phill by dejapooh

My thing is the volatility of the Gas prices at teh stations. They seem to try to stay within $.50 OF regular gas. With the phill, Gas prices are set by the PUC, and that means price changes are less frequent and less radical.

Patricia did not give me a shipping date, so you may get it before me.

Look into a used FMQ2 instead the math makes better sense. They are rebuilable every 400 hours/4000 gallons for roughly $900. You can rebuild them indefinate times. When you want to sell it it's still worth what you paid for it used. If you have trouble finding one let me know I have 8 of them coming in.
