Customers must provide a fill hose to accommodate the adaptor size they have on their tank.
The hose must be capable of withstanding 80 psi of pressure, have at least one 3” female coupler end to connect to the male cam-lock adaptor at the station and be long enough to reach the cam-lock adaptor from the vehicle.
