1999 CNG BI- Fuel VW Bettle GLS  2L Engine Automatic 109,000 miles

Here is the story of the car

I just finished my new CNG VW Beetle Concept. The VW Beetle is so beloved by the public that I felt it needed to be the focus of a new CNG push.  So I built the complete package starting with the 1999 new Beetle four cylinder automatic so that any one can drive it. I had the low cost CNG kit shipped in from South America. These kits are certified everywhere in the world but the USA. But here in Boston MA no one knows much of CNG technology and to find a pumping station is quite a far drive for me, about twenty miles one way.

 

 Due to this the search was on for a Home Refueling Station which is a pump that takes your standard home natural gas and pumps it in to your car’s CNG tank over night. They are used all over Canada, Europe, South America and a few smart States in the USA, mostly concentrated in the Midwest.

 

 I started this project last year and never stopped. I got the Beetle to run great and pushed MPG of CNG to thirty miles in the city and over a hundred miles to the tank and I still have the gasoline tank. Yes I run on CNG or gasoline at the mere click of a switch.

 

I searched and found a used Home Refueling Station that was rebuilt and tested and had it shipped in and I installed a new gas line to the garage and updated the power. Now for the big test every thing was installed to code which included the car and the Home Refueling Station. From then I turned on the power and gas and watched the little lights light up. I am feeling pretty good at this point because I was able to hook up the gas line from the pump to the Beetle and all I did was hit the start button on the Home Refueling Station and off she went. It was as quiet as a window air-conditioner. I watched the pressure gauge in the car as it slowly went up every thing was working as planned.

 

A Home Refueling Station fills your car’s CNG tank over time mostly at night when demand for power and gas is low. The one I have will fill a four gallon tank for over four hours, to a pressure of 3000 PSI at a cost of below a dollar per GAL before Federal rebates. After the Home Refueling Station fills your CNG tank it shuts is self off.

 

The feeling of filling my car at home safely and not having to go to a gasoline station at

$ 2.60 a GAL for regular and climbing is such a GREAT joy and now I drive by those gasoline stations with a BIG SMILE and think to myself what a feeling.
