Incredibly noisy compressor, even at this small scale. Not only ill effects of loud noise but low-frequency noise (inaudible to human hearing) and its whole body effects (See Amy Mall/NRDC post 2-22-10). Gas burns clean but is not at all "clean" in its production (shale gas extraction can cause air and water pollution. Contrary to "not much of a pollutant," methane is a major worsener of greenhouse effect. Fascination with machine without seeing big picture. This fellow is misleading.
@oscars97 If your scuba compressor is equipped with an automatic moisture venting system, all vent lines should be routed to the exterior. All electronics that may be present must be relocated to prevent sparks (esp relays) from becoming ignition sources. Motor should be sealed (no vents) or explosion proof rated. Oil should be mineral based only (synthetic foams in NG). Never operate the compressor in an enclosed environment (NG leaks or failures can cause accumulation / fire hazard).
What are the specific changes to convert a diving compressor to compress natural gas ? i want to convert my car to natural gas if i can compress the natural gas at home from my local gas company. please reply!!!!

where did you find out how to do this?? Can you point me in the direction of information on how to convert the compressor?

@balbin57 -LNG is NOT under pressure.

Like any vehicle, miles or km depends on size of the tank. In this large V8 sedan, it goes 200 miles, is that 320 KM ?

How many KM. you can drive after each fueling.

This system always stores as a gas, so it is called CNG compressed natural GAS,
Liquified natural gas is another process (LNG) and involves very cold temp plus high pressure.

So interesting.
I wonder if it gets liquid after compressing or does it stay a gas?
