Replying to: grngurl (Jun 23, 2007 8:25 am) The chairman of the CARB was fired this week by the gov. Maybe it is a good time to call the gov's office to get the rule changed on an expedited basis. Replies to this message: allan_gx (Jun 29, 2007 1:33 pm) ohmygas (Oct 02, 2007 12:17 pm)

Replying to: lakewood90712 (Jun 29, 2007 6:49 am) I spoke with FuelMaker this morning and it sounds like Honda has provided CARB with documentation that the "hot gas" is ok for the Civic GX. Not sure if anything will happen but at least they are communicating. Replies to this message: ohmygas (Oct 02, 2007 12:17 pm)
#230 of 255 Question about moving an existing Phill install to another location by 99civiccng Jul 10, 2007 (2:22 pm)
Anyone know if an existing install of a Phill system can be moved to another location? My dad has a Phill system and doesn't need/want it anymore. And I'm game. Especially since I can't get anyone at Fuelmaker to return my call about getting a new one installed!   I'm trying to figure out if I can bypass Fuelmaker and just go to an authorized installer (no idea how to get this info, either) and have it installed at my house.   I'm in the same city as my dad so I'm 99% sure my gas meets with CARB regulations Replies to this message: lakewood90712 (Jul 10, 2007 4:56 pm)

Replying to: 99civiccng (Jul 10, 2007 2:22 pm) Should be no problem at all. An authorized installer will charge you about $1200 to hang it on the wall and connect to existing gas and electrical outlets , and much more if any additional work is needed.    Any plumbing or Heating contractor can can pull a permit and do the job for a fraction of that cost. Shouldn't take more than 3 hours at $80 - $95 per hour. The permit will not be much, unless you have to deal with the Orange County Fire Authority. Go for it!
#232 of 255 Fill Line Extention for PHILL?? by fchanes Jul 11, 2007 (4:43 pm)
How long can I go on the fill line? I need to run another 10 feet. Is a straight hose available? Do I need to jump through the PHILL hoops to get one? Thanks. Replies to this message: hondagxsales (Jul 11, 2007 9:39 pm) cnguser (Jul 12, 2007 7:35 pm)

Replying to: fchanes (Jul 11, 2007 4:43 pm) The 10' line on the Phill is the only option available. I've spoken to Fuelmaker about this just recently. The only way around it would be unauthorized and dangerous modifications. Curtis

Replying to: fchanes (Jul 11, 2007 4:43 pm) Sounds like your unit is not close enough to the vehicle - maybe consider having it relocated for convenience & safety? OR Look at FuelMaker site - there are other home fuelers available with quicker fill rates. I have an FMQ-2 with an optional 25 ft hose. Note these units MUST be located outdoors, not inside. Uses 220 VAC 6 AMPS. But you can get a remote panel/fill hose to mount inside if desired.

Replying to: allan_gx (Jun 29, 2007 1:33 pm) recently I spoke to the OC-Fire Authority and they mentioned that there are 3 PHILL units in their district. So some do get approved. I'm currently waiting for my letter from SoCalGas.
