The rep with the HEIL Autocar-Refuse Truck w/ISL-G NZ Natural Gas Engine said targeting specific engine/tank packages to the different duty cycles of curbside collection (constant starts/stops), dumpster collection (tethered routes from yard), and transfer big rigs (long runs to landfills) has allowed CNG to shine by selecting extra torque engines where appropriate and fuel capacities that fit the assignments (try this with over-the-road trucking . . )

No spell check error. the ANG technology in the previous post about the ACT Expo in Long Beach should be spelled: adsorbed.

Adsorption is defined as the adhesion of an extremely thin layer of molecules onto the surfaces of particles. German physicist Heinrich Kayser coined the term "adsorption" in 1881. Adsorption is a different process from absorption, in which a substance diffuses into a liquid or solid to form a solution.
