There must not be a real problem 06/28/17 at 10:58:03 Because if there was, we've had the answer and didn't use it. https://www.lewrockwell.com/2017/06/eric-peters/whatever-happened-cng-powered... There is even an explanation for why the so called zero emissions crap isn't exactly that.. I knew it, tried to explain it, but I don't think anyone can fail to understand this guy.

Even the infrastructure to provide for CNG refueling is already largely in place in most urban and suburban areas, because natural gas lines are already in place. If your home has a gas furnace or gas appliances you could also refuel a CNG-powered vehicle at home – and in minutes, not hours.

Not true, every one has NG, but not CNG. you have to go down to the local station to get your tanks filled.

I knew a guy with a van conversion once. He liked it, engine lasts longer.

It's all ready compressed into a liquid. you just connect the hose and pour it in. If it evaps, it gets pretty cold and resists evap'ing.

There's a number of larger trucking companies using CNG and LNG.
Here in FL, I've seen Frito-Lay, UPS and a couple of freight company tractors running on CNG. There's a few UPS running LNG.

LNG gives longer range than CNG but the filling station equipment to refuel is a major capitol investment and only very large fleets can make it pay off. CNG refuel stations are cheaper and less complicated. CNG refuel stations may be common one day at the big travel plazas, I know there's one already at a Pilot in Tallahassee.

Besides investment in refuel equipment, there are upgrades required to do shop repair and maintenance. As I understand it, some kind of leak detectors are needed as the tractors are worked on.

Re: There must not be a real problem Reply #6 - 06/28/17 at 17:51:33 CNG Ofishul Leak detector = kitchen match I wonder if they could use a dye like special leak finding Freon has. Sniffers shouldn't be too hard to make. Fuel gasses could have an additive?

Other than infrastructure, is there another downside to CNG?

Well IF burning oil is causing a Problem, and we must
Ship oil, refine oil, and deal with the pollution,
AND that is Soo Bad that we are willing to rape the Earth and harvest the materials to make windmills and solar panels to relieve the world of the pollution from energy creation,
Then Why would we Not change what we run cars on and Alleviate That aspect of the pollution problem?
Remove such a percentage of the problem caused by cars and suddenly the pollution burden is low enough that the fearmongers would shut up.
Why not use CNG?

All the basic infrastructure for fossil fuel based machines are already in place. That's an enormous expense to make that change.

However, if the market demanded it, the change would happen. Look at cell phones. Over a period of just a few years, phones were produced, towers went up, we got rid of old landline phones, calling plans were developed (and thankfully evolved) etc.... If the technology works at a reasonable price and either fills a void or creates a demand, the infrastructure will quickly follow.

Solar, wind, CNG etc... just can't do that yet. If they did, it would have already happened.
