CH> Even a few bucks a pound would be possible.  A one-time deal.  Ford
 CH> made several 1936 Fords out of stainless.  The bodies outlasted several
 CH> frames. They also made at least one 1960 Lincoln.  I don't know what
 CH> happened to those cars.
 
I didn't know that. I was always under the impression that the Delorean was 
the only stainless (mass produced--as far as specialty vehicles go) vehicle
out there. 

 CH> Matt pointed out some of the practical aspects.  Tough nut to crack.
 
Though Matts outline applies to LNG. 
Vehicle conversions are CNG, (at about 2500psi storage).  Home refill units
as I've been talking about them also apply to CNG not LNG.  

 CH> How long does the fast fill take?
 
(Fast fill is my term) It takes 5 - 10 minutes for a refill from an empty
tank. I'll have to remember to take some photos of the system.  Its 
essentially identical to a commercial fill station, hookup nozzle, turn on, 
walk away.  Connectors are much like a typical hydralic quick connect. 

 ->Probably legislation against it due to the methanol producers wanting a
 ->captive audience...

 CH> Or anti-moonshine statutes.  Distilling is a hot-button issue for some
 CH> gummint types.

Dang gumb revenewers. =-)
