Momentum Fuel Technologies compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel system is now available in side-mount 32- and 55-diesel gallon equivalent (DGE) systems.
The smaller diameter system is integrated on the frame rail of the truck for ground clearance and offers fuel capacity comparable to other systems, according to the company.
The smaller diameter side-mount system can be installed on any brand of chassis with any of the major brands of mixer bodies. The system was designed and built based on Momentum’s existing platform, with the same components, plumbing, mounting arms, torsion beams for protection and color-coded fuel lines for safety.
Momentum systems also come equipped with neck-mounted cylinders manufactured by Luxfer, the world’s largest manufacturer of high-pressure composite and aluminum cylinders.
The fuel system includes an alloy steel end plate and multiple aluminum extrusions to protect the cylinder. The side-mount systems can be integrated with Momentum’s fuel management module, for faster installation requiring less frame space, according to the company.
“Many of Momentum’s technological features focus on driver confidence, and now with the higher clearance of our new side-mount system, mixer customers can consider CNG trucks more than ever before,” said general manager Mike Zimmerman in a prepared statement.
