has anyone built their own cng compressor
thinking of buying a $250 dollar scuba compressor (4500psi) on amazon to compress CNG for cars.
The CNG stations charge 1.60 / GGE, and homefill would be 30 cents per GGE.
The plan would be to have a flash back arrester on the intake to the compressor to prevent any accidents from going back into the main line.
Might also have a check valve to make sure the gas only goes one way.
It would appear impossible to have a flashback arrestor on the tank line due to 4500psi.
I havent been able to source cng service nozzles, i found fill ones but not the service handles like at the station, so i will be using a diy connector system that is rated for 4500psi, probably ball valves instead.
What u think of the plan?
