GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT CNG / WARNINGS
• CNG is compressed natural gas that is transported and stored under high pressure. It is lighter
than air. Commercial CNG is odorised to enable detection by its sulfurous smell. Small leakages
typically cannot be seen and merely detected by its smell. When exposed to the atmosphere It
has an expanding factor proportional to the Service Pressure, e.g. 1:207 at a Service Pressure of
207 bar: one liter of compressed gas corresponds to 207 liter of flammable gas.
High pressure gas and gas equipment can cause serious harm to both infrastructure and
personnel if safety precautions are not followed
A small gas release upon uncoupling is normal – but uncontrolled gas release to the
atmosphere must be avoided. If you suspect a leakage: stop refuelling immediately, use
the emergency button to shut off the dispenser, immediately evacuate the area and inform
station personnel.
• CNG/Natural Gas is extremely flammable:
Open fires, smoking, sources of static electricity and the use of mobile phones or other
electric devices is prohibited in the area of gas transfer. Turn off vehicle engine before
refuelling.
• Failure or improper use of this product can cause death, personal injury and property
damage.
CNG is extremely cold when released to the air (depressurised).
INSTALLATION
