I guess I better give details

[Highmarker]

My name is Jared. I live in Roy, Utah and work in Brigham City, Utah. I work for HyPerComp Engineering. www.hypercompeng.com

We specialize in a designing, testing, certifying composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs). We are currently in the process of certifying a CNG tank per NGV2-2007. This tank is a 13 GGE tank. We hope to be fabricating this vessel this summer.

I currently own a 2001 Chevy Cavalier and am looking for a truck/SUV that my wife would agree upon.

I see that Murphy at CNG motors has a couple trucks now... I've purchased from him twice in the past couple years and can give him two thumbs up (an ECO systems converted 2000 Tahoe and my daughter has a 2000 Ford F150 bifuel) Good luck

Is it bigger than a breadbox?

But seriously, what is the 13 gge tank for?

freedml,

The tank is designed for pickup trucks and vans. Most of the conversions today are trucks and vans. The design is centered around cost and NOT weight. The tank weighs approx. 300 lbs. I can not comment on the price at this time (I'm just the design engineer), but I can assure you that it will be less expensive than the current market price of tanks with the same capacity.

Hey Jared,
I'm new here and have a dedicated F250. Another 13 gge would be perfect for me. Please keep me posted when one might be available. Also, what kind of sled do your ride?

m-couper,

We are hoping to start manufacturing in July of this year (pending our NGV2 certification). I actually sold my '99 Ski-Doo Summit X last November. I have two little kids and one on the way and I didn't ride it much (a CNG sled - now that would be sweet - where do you put the tank?).
