GeeBee Posted December 27, 2020 Report Posted December 27, 2020 I know, but the user has to under go annual training and carry a card.
tmo Posted December 31, 2020 Report Posted December 31, 2020 In Poland we have LPG, not LNG, and I suspect the ones in Czechia and Germany are also LPG; here the LPG terminals are self-serve and no training whatsoever is required; they indeed initially were "attendant only". I believe the station needs to be "manned" and at least one of the employees has to have special training, but they can focus on selling beer and leave the LPG to the drivers. None of the LPG powered cars I had a chance to drive were great, but people live with the downsides because the cost per mile is about half of unleaded. We also have CNG powered cars and buses, but I believe only one CNG filling place accessible to the general public, and it is "attendant only" indeed. I'd still try to go the SI-1070 route if I had a Lycoming engine... 1
