8 hour fillup doesn't sound bad...do you not sleep? :)

I live in a fairly small city in Pennsylvania...we've got a quick-fill CNG station within 5 miles of my home and work. You can fill up at agricultural supply if they'll agree to it...standard hookups.

It sounds like you'd be converting, though, so why not do a dual-fuel setup (since it might be legal in Canada)? Keep a reserve tank of petrol, run the timing and injector pulses on an adjustable box or aftermarket ecu (like MegaSquirt-n-Spark) and switch over 'on-demand'. That's the way I'd do a conversion but the costs are $$$$$.

Best of luck! I'd love to see it when it's done.
