Feb. 24, 2010 – Day Three: We arrived around 1000 hours at Tulsa Gas Technologies where we were greeted by the President, a friendly and enthusiastic, Tom Sewell. Tom gave the the full tour of the Tulsa Gas Technologies (TGT) manufacturing facilities. TGT fabricates and manufactures a line of top quality CNG dispensers for end users and other distributors and assemblers. Tom was quick to point out that TGT fabricates all of the dispenser components in house, as well as, producing their own circuit boards and process controls. Additionally, TGT provides and installs conversion systems for NGV cars and trucks. We were highly impressed with the quality of the work that we were able to view in progress. Tom has a hands on management style and takes great pride in the quality of workmanship that his shop produces. This attitudes was evident in each of the TGT employees that we had the pleasure of meeting.
After our tour we discovered that the trailer wiring we had installed in Ohio was not going to work with the DyneTek/TGT CNG trailer we had come to pick up from Tulsa Gas. Tom graciously offered to have his staff correct the problem for us. TGT staff went to work on our wiring problem. This rewiring turned into a bigger job than any of us expected but the TGT staff stayed with it and by 1700 hours we were hooking up to the CNG trailer and topping off our fuel tanks. All day long Tom and his staff were exceedingly accommodating to us and even provided us with a courtesy car so that we could ride into town for lunch. I can’t say enough about the level of hospitality that was extended to us by Tom and his staff. This is a great bunch of folks. After making final preparations, and saying our goodbyes, we were finally back on the road at 1830 hours.
Oklahoma City was just 100 miles to the West and we pulled into the “On Q Express” filling station to top off our fuel tanks. At this point time was not on our side but we managed to make it into El Reno, Oklahoma where we made camp for the night. Tomorrow morning we’ll continue West on I-40 into the Texas Panhandle.
