Has anyone noticed that after filling at Orem you tend to have some foamy crap on your filler nozzle (on the car) when you are done? It looks like oil. Is it? Am I the only one that is seeing this? Or is it something totally normal and I am just an idiot. If needs be I can snap some pics next time I fill.

Oil with CNG fill?

Re: Oil with CNG fill?
Is oil. As a worn piston's rings on an engine when they got worn, starts leaking compression (and letting pass the oil through them), the compressor is the same. When it gets worn, then the oil from pump and crankcase goes to the storage cylinders, and then due to the high flow at high pressure, to your tank, aaaand, after that, regulator.

Re: Oil with CNG fill?
My car hasn't been running that great lately, it's been hesitating and even stalling occasionally. It was way past time for a filter change so I figured maybe that was it. When I pulled the LP filter off it had about 2 tsp of oil in the bottom of the filter. The car is running better but I still need to change the HP filter. Wondering if now if I could have a partially plugged injector. The coil packs were changed almost 2 years ago but I guess one of those could be the culprit too. 90% of the time I fill at the airport. I can't say I've ever seen any foaming or liquid at any place I've filled.

What car do you have? If it's a Honda Civic, when was the last time the valves were adjusted? I would look at that before I tackled the expense of the injectors. In my opinion the coil packs should still be ok, but I'm no mechanic.

Re: Oil with CNG fill?
If the dealer determines that you need valves, you will want to look into the aftermarket valves. The valves from Honda are very very expensive. Valves on the Honda start going out around 100K.Originally posted by Blueflame View PostThanks Bill, it's a 2002 Civic. I'm sure the valves are way overdue so I'll probably get those checked too.

Re: Oil with CNG fill?
I'll keep my fingers crossed about the valves. I've got 80,000 on it now so hopefully I've got some time before replacement. Oddly enough I pulled the plugs which all looked nice and tan, inspected and swapped around the coil packs since I was at it and when I put it all back together it is running MUCH better. Just a very slight occasional stumble. Hardly noticeable. I may replace the plugs anyway along with a valve adjustment and that may do it. If it gets any worse I'll try a new coil pack and swap that around until I find the one going bad. They're only about 45.00 at hondapartsnow.com and easy to change. Thanks for the advice on the valves. I didn't realize how critical they were on the GX.
