Refuelling of NGVs is easier and safer than refuelling with gasoline or diesel - it takes about the same amount of time, but you don't get smelly stains on your shoes or spills down the side of your vehicle.
The process will differ only slightly, depending on whether you are using compressed natural gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), or a blend of hydrogen and CNG (HCNG). The refuelling nozzle simply clicks onto the receptacle on the vehicle and you are ready to fill. When the cylinder is full, the dispenser automatically shuts off and you are ready to disconnect again.
Public Refueling
Much like refuelling with gasoline or diesel. The driver pulls up at a dispenser, switches the engine off and then connects the nozzle to the receptacle. Some nozzles have an isolator fitted, which prevents the engine from being switched on while connected to the dispenser.
In some converted vehicles, the refuelling receptacle may be located under the hood or in the trunk. In most OEM vehicles though, the receptacle is located where the gasoline or diesel inlet is.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
If the receptacle on the vehicle and the nozzle on the dispenser do not match, do NOT use an adaptor to refuel the vehicle. Industry standard nozzles and receptacles have been designed with optimal safety in mind to prevent such accidents.
