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.
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 3 to 5 minutes to fill up
the fuel tank.
Slow filling is done with a vehicle
refueling appliance. Refueling takes
about 1 hour per gasoline gallon
equivalent.
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 vehicle’s maximum fill pressure
is 3,600 psi (24,800 kPa), so you
should refuel with a P36 nozzle.
Using a P30 nozzle will fill the tank
to the second (3,000 psi) fill mark on
the fuel gauge. Using a P24 nozzle
will not fill the tank completely.
During a fast fill, the natural gas is
warmed by the refueling process.
This causes the pressure in the tank
to rise and reduces the amount of
fuel you can put in.
The label shown below is attached to
the fuel receptacle lid.
