Fuel Pressure Increase

Fuel Pressure Increase

Fuel Pressure Increase

(OP)
I have a Natural gas fueling system and I need to boost the pressure of the NG from 50 psi at the tank to 100 to 150 psi for delivery and consistent pressure at the engine. any suggestions?  

RE: Fuel Pressure Increase

Umm

Use a compressor.

Cool the gas a lot before you pump it.

Make sure the container will withstand the maximum pressure you will reach after a heat soak on a hot day with a very good safety factor as a rupture will be quite spectacular.

RE: Fuel Pressure Increase

(OP)
Maybe I was not clear. the fueling system on the vehicle is releasing the gas from the tank to the engine at 50 PSI. I need to boost the pressure on board from the tank to the engine to a max of 150 psi. I have tried google to find the type of compressor/supercharger or other type of booster. can anyone recommend either a type/supplier of compressor or gas intensifier for this particular application.

RE: Fuel Pressure Increase

Sounds to me like you just need a 150 PSI pressure regulator.  Surely your tank pressure is over 150 PSI.
