WARNING! (Continued)
•
Natural gas vapors at atmospheric pressure are
lighter than air and will rise and disperse in open
areas. In enclosed areas, natural gas vapor may
collect and form a combustible mixture. If the vehicle
is routinely placed in an enclosed area, the area
should be provided with adequate ventilation and/or
a natural gas detection system. For long term storage,
the manual shutoff valve and individual container
valves should be closed.
•
When a vehicle is involved in an accident which has
or may have caused damage to the natural gas fuel
system, the system must be inspected and pressure
tested by a qualified technician before returning the
vehicle to service.
•
Any fuel system component, including the containers,
that has been subjected to fire may not be returned to
service due to reduced pressure capability.
MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
The manual one-quarter turn shut off valve is located
inside the protective cover for the tanks. It’s location is
identified by a label on the top of the cover. This valve
isolates the fuel containers from the rest of the fuel system.
