Some how cow farts just have to be a part of the equation here.
Where are the CNG stations in the Bakken Shale area, where they’re flaring off NG for lack of a use for it???
There ya go...
Now all you need is some land to graze them on..
I think there is a shortage of that in NV though.
Yes you can..
it’ll hang 2 feet out of the box though.
Well, at least they’re all over Oklahoma, according to #25Kinda hard to understand the complete absence of them in the Bakken, where they’re flaring off NG for want of an a valuable use for it . . .
I know a guy with a Crown Victoria that runs on CNG. He tells me it runs so clean he NEVER changes the oil. It stayed perfectly clean after 20 thousand miles.
The oil companies will fight tooth and nail to PREVENT the development of a refueling infrastructure!
My understanding is that when there is no gas pipeline to an oil well it cannot be gathered economically and must be flared. I think the industry is looking more into using that gas, though.
Our county of 3 million uses CNG for municipal buses.
That is the type of application, along with regional commercial uses, with their own filling capability which work well.
Looking at your map, nearest fillup location to me would be Reno,NV 200 miles away. I’ll stick with gasoline.
Correction, not Reno, looks more like South end of Lake Tahoe.
The CNG tank is designed to contain thousands of pounds per inch of pressure. These tanks are carbon fiber and crash tested.
FAE?
Finely Accurate Elephants?
The following link has info on Gun Test, Dynamite Test and Severe Abuse Test on CNG Tanks.
the price of NG, $1.50 less, in the article,
does not make any sense.
would anyone here like to discuss the issue
of NG price at the pump?
Oil viscosity will break down with heat.
There are reasons to change besides dirt.
A lot of new garbage trucks are going to natural gas as well. CNG as well as LNG.
That is the average price I believe.
In some area, the difference is going to be greater and make more economic for those that normally buy in those locations.
I was told in the Navy that once oil is cleaned of impurities it is as good as new. In a steam powered ship, the lube oil is clean and reused over and over.
The odds are that there are already 2 to 3 CNG filling stations within 30 miles of your house: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/fuels/natural_gas_locations.html
C'mon, man, I get royalties from NG. I was really counting on you.
This is worth a read if you are interested in the topic.
