dennis, it sounds to me the cummins 12 liter ng engine is plenty good enough for the big rigs. also it has been a pleasant surprise to me that cng fuel is working for long distance big rig trucks. the tutorial information i read from clean energy a year or 18 months ago that gave its reasoning why lng tanks were the types for the big rigs to adopt. looks like some of the owners of the rigs took a different approach to use cng instead, and it looks like it's working out for them. i do not know what the big trucks did with their fuel tanks to allow their drivers to get 600 miles on a cng fillup, but it is good news. those cng tanks are just going to get better for trucks as well as cars. these cng tanks with materials inside that aDsorb methane that allows a fillup to have both a lower pressure as well as a larger number of methane molecules inside are going to make tanks cheaper too. the learning will go on for cng tanks, and they will just get better.
