Fuel Information
Only fuels that can be used
NFPA-52 and SAE J1616 standards
Use of a fuel that does not meet these standards can cause a decrease in engine
power and damage the emission controls.
Fuel tank capacity:
Slow filling
6.96 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
7.77 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
Fast filling
5.84 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,000 psi)
6.51 gasoline gallon equivalent (3,600 psi)
How to Refuel
There are two methods of refueling:
Fast filling
It takes about three to five minutes to fill up the fuel tank. This method is usually
available at stations designed to refuel natural gas vehicles.
During fast filling, the natural gas is warmed, causing the pressure in the tank to
rise and reduces the amount of fuel you can put in.
Slow filling
It takes about an hour and a half per GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) to fill up
the fuel tank. This method can be done using a vehicle refueling appliance.
