Time-Fill Station

Time-Fill CNG Stations for Fleet Fueling

CMD Energy designs and manufactures time-fill CNG stations for fleets that return to a central location and can fuel vehicles during extended periods of downtime. Our systems provide a reliable, efficient fueling solution for municipal, waste, construction, transit, airport, emergency response, and other commercial fleet applications.

Overnight CNG Fueling for Return-to-Base Fleets

Time-fill CNG stations are ideal for fleets that return to the same facility at the end of each shift. Vehicles can be connected to fueling posts and gradually fueled over several hours, allowing them to be ready for operation when the next shift begins.
CMD works with fleet owners and operators to design a fueling solution based on fleet size, vehicle schedules, site conditions, fueling demand, and future growth plans.

Benefits of Time-Fill CNG Fueling

Time-fill fueling can help fleet operators improve fueling efficiency while taking advantage of the benefits of compressed natural gas.
Key benefits include:

• Overnight fueling while vehicles are already parked and out of service
• Reduced fueling labor by minimizing the need for employees to actively fuel vehicles
• More complete fills that can help maximize vehicle range between fueling cycles
• More predictable fuel budgeting through greater natural gas price stability
• Reduced engine noise from quieter-running CNG vehicles
• Cleaner-burning fuel that can support environmental and sustainability goals
• Scalable fueling options that can be configured around current and future fleet needs

Time-Fill CNG for Commercial and Municipal Fleets

Time-fill systems are well suited for fleets with predictable routes and overnight parking schedules.
Common applications include:

• Municipal fleets
• Waste and refuse trucks
• Transit buses
• School and shuttle buses
• Construction fleets
• Airport vehicles
• Fire and emergency vehicles
• Other commercial return-to-base fleets

CMD can help evaluate vehicle count, fueling schedules, operating requirements, and available infrastructure to determine the right time-fill configuration for your operation.

Rugged Time-Fill CNG Dispenser Posts

CMD designs and manufactures time-fill CNG dispenser posts for dependable operation in demanding fleet environments.

Features include:

• Powder-coated metal construction designed to withstand harsh environments
• Flexible configurations supporting one to four hoses on the same post
• 5,000 PSIG pressure gauge on each dispenser post
• Rugged construction designed for long-term fleet fueling applications

These dispenser posts can be integrated into a complete CMD CNG fueling station designed around your fleet’s operational requirements.

Time-Fill vs. Fast-Fill CNG Fueling

The right CNG fueling configuration depends on how and when your fleet operates.
Time-fill CNG fueling is typically best suited for return-to-base fleets that remain parked for several hours and can fuel overnight.
Fast-fill CNG fueling is designed for fleets that require quicker fueling and need vehicles back on the road with minimal downtime.
CMD can help determine whether time-fill, fast-fill, or a combination of both is the right solution for your fleet.
