NGV's can be refueled anyplace from existing natural gas lines. This makes home fueling stations that exploit into such lines possible. A company called FuelMaker has initiated such a system known as "Phill", which they have built up in partnership with Honda.
Existing gasoline-powered vehicles may be converted to CNG. An expanding number of vehicles worldwide are being manufactured to run on CNG (Honda Civic, Samand). GM do Brasil introduced the MultiPower engine in August 2004, which was capable of using CNG, alcohol, and petrol as fuel.
The GM engine has electronic fuel injection automatically adjusts to any acceptable fuel configuration. This motor was utilized in the Chevrolet Astra
and was aimed at the taxi market.
Although a localized problem, NGV refill stations can be scarce in some places, with cabdrivers waiting in long queues to refill. This has led to
promptings that taxis should have their own options for refueling at taxi ranks - a model being tested in Casablanca, Morocco. Here, taxi drivers 'belong' to a base station where they operate from and have priority fuel rights including an account card.
