#15 of 44 Solenoid the problem? by rogerbohl Aug 18, 2006 (8:42 am)
Replying to: thatdeonguy (Aug 18, 2006 8:32 am) I believe the solenoid is closed whenever the ignition is off. Since one can fill a tank with the ignition off, I don't see how even a failed solenoid could have prevented filling a tank. I suggest the chap with the problem call Daytech, before he runs out of fuel and has to be towed.

Replying to: mattod (Aug 27, 2006 4:14 pm) WOW Honda is going to replace your tank. Make sure you let us know how that goes. Can you find out what failed? How much a replacement tank costs.
#20 of 44 Gas odor normal? by rogerbohl Aug 17, 2006 (6:37 am)
Our recently purchased 1999 Honda GX has a very slight gas odor when left overnight in a closed garage. When left outside, there is no odor present, perhaps because a breeze flows through the ventilation system, purging the slight amount of gas inside. Is this phenomenon common? Normal? The car had been "certified" recently by a qualified CNG installer, and another leak detected and repaired, but the slight odor persists.
#21 of 44 PHILL and Civic GX Fuel filters by thatdeonguy Aug 25, 2006 (10:27 am)
I just had a minor service at the dealership and they suggested I change the CNG Fuel Filter B(low pressure)(every 10,000 miles). I declined the filter service thinking that the fuel that PHILL makes must be cleaner than what Honda engineer's figured that the GX would accumulate at fast-fill commercial CNG pumps. Any other PHILL users with similar experience?

Replying to: thatdeonguy (Aug 25, 2006 10:27 am) I change my low-pressure fuel filter every oil change (10,000 miles). What makes you think the Phill provides a cleaner gas? I have not seen data that demonstrates that conclusion. Honda has increased the frequency that they recommend the filter to be changed over the years as they've examined older fleet vehicles. Look at it this way: It's an inexpensive part that prevents major damage to your engine. I buy the filter's from Majestic Honda online for $87 each, and then the 10k mile service with the oil change is about $125. Bud Raymond.

#23 of 44 Civic GX Fuel filters [nostrom0] by rogerbohl Aug 25, 2006 (3:37 pm)
Replying to: nostrom0 (Aug 25, 2006 3:01 pm) Thanks for the lead. But when I went to Majestic's website, the apparently appropriate filter was P/N 25216, "CNG Filter Element Assembly" and only (?)$47. My car is a 1999 model. Did you get your 10,000 mile service at a Honda dealer? I assume you put the filter in yourself??? Replies to this message: nostrom0 (Sep 12, 2006 4:04 pm) fbaldwin (Sep 13, 2006 4:38 pm)

Replying to: rogerbohl (Aug 25, 2006 3:37 pm) The low-pressure fuel filter is part #16230-PMS-A03. I have it changed when I take it in for the 10k mile service. Unfortunately the dealer's aren't always up to speed about what's supposed to be done, so be sure you hand them the filter and ask them to change it.
