Refueling your NGV...manners

Refueling compressed natural gas (CNG) is a litte bit different from refueling petrol. It takes about twice the time taken to fuel up your tank gas. Adds up to waiting several cars especially behind those taxis, easily it takes 10 to 15 minutes.

Acknowledge this, efficiency of operator with the help the car owner is quite crucial. As most of NGV user are male; it should not be a problem for a little help to speed up time.

Roughly I listed several things that should be in practice i.e unwritten rules:

1) Release your hood while waiting, so that when it comes to your turn, the operator can open it straight away. Some taxis even open the hood which I would not prefer as you will drive your car through small opening in between the hood.

2) When you reached the refueling station, go out and open the hood, if the operator is busy on others. It's fine if the operator is not so busy, he can do it for you. Cut the crap. Throw your ego away. It's after all, the cheapest fuel at hugely subsidize price of 68 sen per litre. So, you in it because you are not bother mixing around with those who need it.

3)Sometimes, when you open your hood, the operator will get the hose and start refueling.

4) If still no operator available, go grab that hose. Press that 'START' button or switch. Then, latch it to your inlet valve and turn on the switch. That it, easy.Relax and watch for the meter. Prepare your money and some loose change.

5)After your gas tank fully filled, the operator will unhook it. Now, you hand in your money and you can close your hood. You wait for your change and off you go. I normally reset my speedometer, so I know when exactly I have to refuel.

6) If not operator available, unhook it yourself, close your hood and hand in your payment.

This guide is intended for some user which new to NGV. It's not trying to ridicule anybody. After all, even when you refueling using petrol, you have to do everything by your own. It not an issue actually. Just to make life easier for us and everybody. "Happy Driving".
