Extra Tank? Anyone know who/where to get this? I stop to fill up my car every other day, and the even though the home fueling seems awesome, I'm not sure if it is worth all the extra cash. thanks for any help.

I can install a 3 GGE tank in the trunk for an extra $500 for a new customer purchasing one of my cars. I don't do it on other cars, just for my new customers. Kinda of a hassle to get done. When you purchase an FM 2 or 4 just think of it as you are leasing it, because if you ever sell it you should get 100% of your money back. So it really breaks down like this:
$3500 for a Used FM
$750 to rebuild every 4000 hours or 4000 gallons.
 
So that works out to $.19 cents per gallon plus your cost of CNG from home probably right around $1.25. Then add in the electricty. So for about $1.50 per gallon from home is it worth it?

Murphy -- I am in the market to purchase a Honda GX and FMQ2 or FMQ2.5 (used) as well as getting an extra tank for the GX. Do you still do this? Cal

Murphy,
 
I was wondering if you still have any used Fuelmakers? I live in San Diego and could either ship it or consider making the drive (in my turck!).
 
Thanks, Chris (crtrrocketmail.com)
