    As a general rule of thumb, only 40% of the stored gas in a three bank cascade arrangement is available for refueling. This means that a 30,000 cubic foot storage cascade will deliver about 12,000 cubic feet of natural gas quickly. This equates to about 96 equivalent gallons of gasoline.
    Interesting ..

    One of the key components in a fast-fill NGV Refueling Station is the CNG Storage. In fact, the inclusion of ASME ground storage vessels really defines a fast-fill refueling application. Fast-Fill stations allow vehicles to pull up and refuel in a short period of time. In order to fuel vehicles quickly, gas must be drawn […]

      And only 20% of total volumn in a cylinder can be delivered at pressure. Drop beyond 20% and you will not get a 3600 psi fill.

        Thanks for educational link to McKenzie Corp website and information about cng storage and fast-fill capacity. This whole process is quite difficult to explain to "non-believers" who know nothing about CNG.

        Quite disheartening though that NOT a single public cng refueling facility exists now in Pittsburgh, PA - - - home of McKenzie Corp. Closest facility is Washington, PA which now shows as non-operational - - - I last used this site in Dec 2007 on cross-country run in dedicated Civic GX. PA also lost public cng site in Harrisburg, PA which was just across the street from a Honda dealer (cng public site was by Pacific Pride). Guess that PA is home of "clean coal" (pun intended !!) . . . . even though they now have massive discovered quantities of natural gas as well.
