Simple Operation
Users of the FuelMaker System will appreciate how easy it is to operate. Under
the time-fill method, initiating the refueling process is as simple as connecting the hose nozzle to the vehicle
receptacle. From that point on, everything is automatic, including the shutdown of the system when the vehicle’s
fuel cylinder is full. Time-fill refueling takes place overnight or any other time the vehicle is not in use -
completely unattended.
Fast-fill refueling can be accomplished by using the FuelMaker fast-fill storage system. In this application, any
number of VRAs are connected together to compress natural gas into a bank of storage cylinders, which is then dispensed
to the vehicle. This allows most vehicles to be refueled in just a few minutes.
