If that "fast fill" is from a container of LNG, It would take the
same time as filling a similar sized propane tank.  Our power company
trucks down here run LNG also, and they have three tanks nested in a
triangle (like bombs in a rack) to run the truck.  The tanks are about six
feet long, and about 14" diameter, built like large oxygen bottles.

I just downloaded a text on LNG and will post as the next message.


     Good luck...  M.
