Hello all,
I am happy to have come across this site as I am close to being ready to purchase a used CNG (bi-fuel) vehicle but still have some lingering questions. Perhaps someone can help with my questions:
1. How long does it take to refuel? Of course I know tank size is a factor but just for example, how long would it take to refuel a factory bi-fuel ford f-150 (which is a 12 or 15 gal cng tank, I think)?
2. Pressure. Can you refuel a 3000 psi tank at a 3600 psi station?
3. Tank expiration. I know the tanks have an expiration date - is this enforced somehow in the inspection process in Utah?
4. Annual inspections and emissions. Is it any different for a cng vehicle in Utah (SL county)?
5. Is it more difficult to start an engine on cng, especially in cold weather?
Thanks!
Bob
