Has anyone had any hands on experience with this company and/or any of their compressors. It appears they have some knowledge in the compressor arena? http://www.olmevausa.com/#!cnghomerefill/c1z4z

Hey gang, CNGchat needs your help!
For over a decade we have enjoyed providing this little corner of the Internet for folks to discuss all things natural gas vehicles. It is the largest forum of its kind: with some 70,000 posts on over 11,000 topics. But with continued low gasoline & diesel prices and strong automaker support for electric vehicles, consumer interest in CNG has dropped considerably, and with it has visitor traffic here. As a result, Google ad revenues no longer cover hosting fees.
If you find CNGchat to be a useful resource then please consider making a modest donation to support keeping this remarkable pool of knowledge available to the alternative fuels community. Thanks!

The manual says that it requires at least 4 psi inlet pressure, and a maximum of 5 psi. It also says that you can only run it for four or five hours maximum at a time, and then it must be shut off and allowed to completely cool down before using it again. The manual does have complete exploded diagrams with all of the part numbers, though.

no gas booster, just use a different regulator. This one costs 80$ and can adjust to 6psi

H?MGX, if your reg max outs at 2 psi just swap out the reg, chances are your pre reg pressure is over 10 psi.....mine is well over 20Last edited by trdscfjc; 04-16-2016, 05:02 PM.

The manufacturer knows the equipment capabilities quite well. With this duty cycle limitation, they are telling you it's a non commercial hobby use compressor.For weekend scuba or paint ball use, it could last indefinitely.That was what it was intended for when originally designed.. Adapted to cng, it has severe limits.
