UPS has been using LNG for many years in the west/southwest. Literally millions of miles of testing/trials. Tens of thousands of refuelings. Its just new at CACH now. Proven safe technology. Time and time again by UPS and many other companies.

Does it take any longer to refuel those vs filling diesel tanks?

YES , it takes upwards of an extra 5 minutes to refuel vs. a regular diesel tractor . At our Whites Creek Tennessee facility we have been operating LNG'S since October 2013 and have had lots of on road breakdowns , you will to , just be ready . The gauges for fuel on these tractors rarely work effectively if at all .

Are you sure that wasn't CNG refueling you saw?

You are right. I just assumed it was LNG. I googled it and they are indeed using CNG, which is a better set up for return to base type equipment.

Right. And no way to pretrip fuel is full with these. Gauge is all you will have to go by. No more screwing open cap on tank and seeing it full of diesel.

SCUBA tanks are required to be hydrostatically tested periodically to determine worthiness. How often are the tanks on the new rocket launchers...oops.....I mean tractors required to be "hydrostat" tested. I guess we'll wait until the first explosion to find out.

Tanks are being built at the Willow Grove hub in Horsham Pa. I've been told all new tractors will be LNG.
