FMVSS 304 also requires that cylinders
not be used after the end of life (EOL)
date provided on the tank label. The
EOL date is also displayed in the
engine compartment and at the fueling
connection of each truck. If there is any
question as to proper decommissioning
of a cylinder, contact the manufacturer,
whose name and address is also required
to be on the label.
CNG Fuel Container Pressure Relief
Devices (PRDs)
WARNING
PRDs must be properly maintained and
positioned for safe operation of a CNG
fuel system. Missing vent caps can
allow moisture into PRDs and vent lines,
which can freeze and damage these
safety components. Debris which clogs
the PRDs and/or vent lines can prevent
proper function.
PRDs must be positioned to vent upward,
not outward, from a vehicle.
Ensure that every truck owner completes
periodic inspections of the PRDs and
vent lines and systems, in accordance
with guidance provided by the system
component suppliers.
Alert First Responders to CNG
and LNG
DANGER
In the event of a fire or other emergency,
alert first responders to the presence
and location of CNG fuel systems,
tanks and dispensers. Ensure that
emergency personnel are aware of proper
precautions, such as those provided in
Agility’s First Responder Guide: CNG and
LNG Vehicle Fuel Systems.
Eye, Ear and Skin Protection
WARNING
ALWAYS wear appropriate eye protection
to prevent the risk of eye injury. Wear
safety glasses to prevent eye contact
with debris and fluids. Wear a welding
face mask to protect eyes and face when
welding.
ALWAYS wear ear plugs when working
around loud noises to prevent the risk of
hearing loss and damage.
ALWAYS wear appropriate gloves to
protect the hands. Wear welding gloves
to protect the hands when welding.
Wear appropriate gloves when handling
extremely hot or cold equipment and
fluids.
Testing the Equipment
WARNING
Exhaust gases contain deadly poison.
When testing a vehicle with the engine
running, conduct the test outdoors or use
a properly vented exhaust hose.
Use caution when installing testing
equipment. Keep away from hot engine
or transmission components or fluids.
A hot engine, transmission or fluids can
permanently damage test equipment and
can cause personal injury.
If a vehicle is to be operated with testing
equipment connected, take precautions
to ensure that all equipment and related
components are securely attached, to
prevent movement and interference.
All items within the cab must be secured
before the vehicle is serviced or driven.
