RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

The onboard tanks are filled up in one minutes from a compressed air tank either at home or a filling station. The experience is kind of like getting gas now at a gas station. The same is true for CNG. The tanks weigh about 10% as much as a battery and are not made with rare earth dirty materials. Air rushes in real quickly as opposed to electricity which can take hours. If you have a home compressor, it might take an hour or so to fill up your home supply tank, but then only a minute to transfer it over. I believe it will go about like the GM Amp, about 25 to 40 miles. Remember you keep adding air pressure from slowing down and from the engine. This form of energy storage is much quicker than electricity. The onboard air compression uses the engine when it is not running on gas (or diesel)and I don't believe their is an actual air compressor. Watch the video as it has the best answer to some of those questions. NG, coal, and nuclear is truly domestic where as solar is less that one % of the total domestic and is made from foreign (China) equipment. When we were in Amish county, they used compressed air for all sorts of machinery in furniture factors and other facilities as a replacement for electricity. Even saw overhead ceiling fans run on compressed air instead of electricity.
