In most cases, fueling a compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle is not much different than fueling a gasoline-powered car. For a dispenser with a yellow fitting on the end of the hose.
- Attach the nozzle to vehicle and lock it in place by turning the lever on the nozzle clockwise.
- Swipe your credit or debit card.
- Raise the lever on dispenser to start gas flow. The dispenser will pause during fueling, but will stop automatically when your tank is full.
For systems with flexible hoses:
- Make sure the lever is turned to the "off" position.
- The hose should be easy to bend and attach.
- Pull back the black sleeve on the nozzle and push it over the fitting on your vehicle.
- Turn the lever to pressure the hose and begin the fueling process.
Buses Only
Some stations have dispensers designed specifically for large vehicles such as buses and large trucks. Do not use this dispenser for any other type of vehicle.
Dispenser Pressure
Each pump is equipped to deliver CNG at either 3,600 or 3,000 pounds per square inch (PSI). Review the proper listing at the top of each unit. If your vehicle is not rate to accept CNG at a certain pressure, do not use that unit. Doing so could result in serious injury. You can find your vehicle rating by checking inside the fuel door or in your owner's manual.
