Time Fill Station Time fill stations typically fill vehicles overnight. They are ideal for fleets that return to a central location or for a home filling station.
Fast Fill Station Fast fill stations fill vehicles rapidly using compression equipment and high pressure gas-storage systems. They take about the same time to fill as any gasoline pump.
