206 Maintenance
Have your authorized service center or a qualified natural gas
vehicle technician replace the fuel tanks. Do not reuse the old
fuel tanks. See the label below, located on the fuel tanks, for
warnings and information on inspection and service life.
CNG Fuel Economy
Your CNG MV-1 has a 290 mile range when the three fuel
tanks are full. The EPA estimated fuel economy for your vehi-
cle is 11 mpg city and 16 mpg highway.
Finding CNG Fueling Stations
Most larger cities in the United States will have CNG fueling
stations, but you can check availability in your area by going
to http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/ which
is the U.S. Department of Energy’s alternative fuel locator.
The DOE also has a mobile smart phone application for locat-
ing alternative fueling stations, http://www.afdc.energy.gov/
stations/m.
For the availability of fueling stations in Canada, go to the
Canadian Natural Gas Vehicle Alliance website at: http://
www.cngva.org/en/home/vehicles--stations/natural-gas-
refueling-stations.aspx.
CNG Refueling
There are two methods for refueling your vehicle; fast-fill or
slow-fill.
Fast-fill is normally what you would find at commercial filling
stations. It will take several minutes to fill up the fuel tanks
using the fast-fill method.
