The compressors are usually several thousand cubic feet per minute and will fill a bus with in minutes.

That is amazing! What type of thermal expansion can be expected for filling that fast?

In most transit applications transit busses fill with a buffer system. The storage is only to keep the compressors from shutting off while they switch from one bus to the next. The compressors are usually several thousand cubic feet per minute and will fill a bus with in minutes. The time it takes to vacuum the inside and empty the change. As for storage most of the school buses Iv'e seen are about 40 to 80 GGE. I can't say for transit.

In what city and at what cng pump did you see the mass transit bus and where is the location of the pump you recommended? Thanks.

I assume jblue saw the bus at the CE pumps at Will Rogers Airport in OK City.

Sí, eso es correcto.

I assume jblue saw the bus at the CE pumps at Will Rogers Airport in OK City. The new Pumps in OKC also on I-44 at the Western exit. It has 4 pumps plus the bus pump.

I saw a transit bus at the CE station so I stopped to visit with the driver. I asked him if he knew that a new station opened right off I-44 with a monster pump for a Transit Bus to use. He didn't. I drew out a rough map and pointed him to cngprices/chat.com.



He said that he can make it ~600 miles on a fill, which is about the distance from OKC to ABQ. You should have seen his face when I told him that the other station was $1.23/gge.
