Looks like two ng-130 tanks will get you there, no? |
The biggest one is 130 ft3, so it is just a bit over 1 GGE. It is about 2.5 ft3.
@ 275 Psi it holds 130 ft3 of gas
275/14.7=18.7 compression
18.7*2.5=47 ft3 regular 2.5 tank with the same compression rate
130/47=2.8 times
This adsorption technology allows to push 2.8 times of gas to the same volume compare to just empty cylinder.... This is not bad at all but the problem is as it states at their web site:
"G-TEC Adsorbed Natural Gas Cylinders are for industrial applications - they are not used for automobiles, trucks, forklifts or other vehicular applications."
I have no idea how this tanks will behave in vehicular applications... But we are getting there....
