Hello, I'm Ivana Taylor. I'm currently doing some research in the area of Compressed Natural Gas Fuel Systems for SSP, a manufacturer of fittings and valves as well as a supplier of CNG fuel system components and packages.

I'm calling companies in the transportation industry to find out if you're currently using or providing CNG fuel systems. And if you are -- we want to know what you're looking for in an ideal supplier.
