Types

Type 1:Fast fill

As compared to the other types of CNG fuel stations this type is the best. This is because people want everything fast.Therefore, they come up quickly on the station and get their tanks filled with CNG quickly. The vehicles that usually come are light weight ones.

Type2:Time fill

These stations are mainly used for the vehicles which have large tanks like trucks etc. This is done by the help of heavy compressor and primary filling will not be suitable for this. It totally depends on the amount of buffer storage, their compressor weight and many other things.

Type 3:Combination of both above

This is the combination of both type 1 and type 2 that is fast fill and time fill and will be applicable for any vehicle. They are connected directly from the compressor which helps to give flexibility.
