I'm scratching my head wondering WHY in the world anybody would buy one of these units??
I only want to get it working well enough for my 20 mile a day commute that I have now.
I also smell too much natural gas when it first starts. . .which makes me think the solenoid valve that operates the dryer is going out. Not sure.
My unit was filthy dirty from operating outside, makes me wonder why they don't have a air filter on the unit?
No I don't want to pay $1000.00 to fix it at this time.

Months later, when the city repaved our alley, we phoned the city and complained that we wouldn't be able to refuel our car when the alley was being worked on. They sent a fireman to take a look (free of charge), and he was happy with the installation. That's the last I heard from anyone on the subject. In fact, Brea wanted to support alternative fuels so much, they cut us a check for the difference between refueling at home, and refueling at stations while the alley was blocked off.
As the unit is not field servicable, you may have a time getting it back into operation without help from someone in the know.

He kept saying that the maximum numbers had been reach and that they are done with Hybrid. I know that they are done with those Hybrid HOV sticker, BUT what about my Natural Gas? Are they done with Natural Gas Vehicle as well?
You should fill out the form and send it to the DMV. Make sure you fill it out correctly. It took about a month from the date I mailed the form until I received the stickers.

anybody has it or know where I can buy or repair it?

I have left countless messages both by email and phone mail. I even volunteered to take it their location for repair without sucess. Does anyone know if there is an independant repairer of the phil units?
The Edmunds post on them being responsive and reliable is a bunch of &^#(#)$.

Thank you

I have an electrical short in mine and want to know if anyone out there knows someone that can look at it. I have it off the wall just sitting on my repair bench. I can ship it anywhere if anyone knows of anyone.
I have my own seperate meter so I was paying a lot less then at the pump. On another point do you realize that even though the price of natural gas goes down clear energy never reduces the price of gas. Thanks
Thanks
