Fuel, Refueling Procedure
CNG Identification
Your vehicle has an identifying
"CNG" label attached next to the
rear license plate. Do not remove
this label. This label is necessary for
insuring your vehicle. Driving
without this label may violate the
laws or regulations in some states.
Refueling Procedure
There are two methods of refueling,
fast filling or slow filling.
Fast filling is normally used in fuel
stations for natural gas vehicles. It
takes about three to five minutes to
fill up the fuel tank.
Slow filling is done with a vehicle
refueling appliance. Refueling takes
approximately 1 hour per gallon.
Always observe all safety
recommendations and operating
instructions on the refueling
equipment.
When refueling, you should use a
fuel fill nozzle that complies with
ANSI/AGA NGV-1-1994 standards.
Nozzles are designed according to
their maximum fill pressure: P24 for
2,400 psi (pounds per square inch),
P30 for 3,000 psi, and P36 for 3,600
psi.
Your Civic's maximum fill pressure
is 3,600 psi (24,800 kPa), so you
should refuel with a P36 nozzle.
Using a P24 or P30 nozzle may cause
the tank to not fill completely.
The natural gas may be warmed by
the refueling process, causing it to
expand and reduce the amount of
fuel you can put in.
