• Page 2 - English - : Introduction Your vehicle runs on compressed natural gas CNG a highly pressurized version of the same cleanburning natural gas used in many homes and businesses Your vehicle operates and performs like a gasolinepowered vehicle However there are a few differences you should be aware of In addition to reading your vehicles owners manual please read this supplement carefully to understand the operation and unique features of your vehicle You will find important safety information in this supplement and in the owners manual This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others Please read it carefully CNG Compressed Natural Gas Your Vehicles Fuel The main component of CNG Compressed Natural Gas is methane It is a highly flammable colorless gas that is used in home appliances such as kitchen stoves and water heaters The CNG in your vehicle is stored under high pressure The system is designed to hold gas at the maximum of 3600 psi24800 kPa and you should never smell gas or hear a hissing sound unless you are refueling If you smell gas or hear a hissing sound at any other time shut down the CNG system immediately If a Fuel Leak is Detected P33 Safety Standards of the Fuel Tank Your vehicles fuel tank meets the safety standards of NGV2 NFPA52DOT NHTSA FMVSS 304 Home
• Page 3 - English - : Fuel Quality and Home Refueling In order to insure that your Civic Natural Gas vehicle receives CNG fuel with quality equal to or above the NFPA52 and SAE J1616 fuel standards Honda only recommends that your vehicle be refueled at a public commercialgrade CNG refueling station Public stations offer an approximately five minute refueling time and the assurance of natural gas quality meeting NFPA and SAE standards Public refueling stations use commercial quality filtering and drying equipment that helps to assure your vehicle will only be refueled with automotive grade CNG meeting the NFPA and SAE standards Due to the nature of home natural gas supplies from gas companies even with filtering and drying equipment it is possible to introduce moisture into your vehicles CNG tank and fueling system possibly resulting in damage to the system Moisture damage can require inconvenient and costly repairs Due to the wide variation of natural gas quality for home use Honda does not recommend the use of home refueling at this time If you choose to use a home refueling device you should consult with the equipment manufacturer and the local natural gas contractor that installs the equipment Ask them to evaluate the quality of the natural gas at the location the refueling equipment will be installed They may recommend additional filtering and drying equipment and a schedule for maintaining this equipment to insure delivery of natural gas that meets the NFPA and SAE standards of fuel quality It is important to understand the quality of fuel not just when it is evaluated but the range of quality particularly moisture content from the natural gas provider The choice to use a slow fill or home refueling equipment evaluation of the suitability of using this equipment installation and proper maintenance of the equipment and any damage associated with the use of this equipment is the sole responsibility of you the owner If your vehicle needs repairs is examined by an authorized Honda Civic Natural Gas automobile dealer and is found to have contamination in the fuel system or damage to the fuel system as a result of using sub standard natural gas your warranty claim for repairs may be denied Home
