CAUTION
This tank contains high pressure
flammable natural gas. You must
ensure that the tank is checked and
inspected and properly maintained,
as well as avoid overfilling or dril-
ling holes in it, or damaging it in
any other way because death or se-
rious injury may result.
Do not allow any person other than
a qualified technician to remove
this tank from the vehicle. If residu-
al gas in the tank is not discharged
correctly, static electricity may be
ignited, causing fire or explosion.
Do not leave the fuel tank where
the temperature can exceed 80
C
(176 F). The tank’s built- in pressure
relief device may open and release
all the fuel from under the floor.
NOTICE
Do not damage the tank. If the tank
is damaged, have it inspected by
your authorized Toyota CNG dealer
as soon as possible.
Do not expose the tank to chlorine,
oxygen or other corrosive liquids.
This tank is intended for use with
compressed natural gas—the fuel
for this vehicle. Do not use it for
any other purpose.
SERVICE PRESSURE:
24800 kPa (3600 psig)
Equivalent gasoline capacity:
43 L (11.4 gal., 9.5 lmp.gal.)

—Fuel shut off system
If the engine stalls, fuel flow from the tank
is automatically shut off. When restarting
the engine after fuel flow is shut off, turn
the ignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK”
once and then start it. The fuel flow from
the tank will also be shut off automatically
when an airbag inflates upon collision or
if the piping is disconnected.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is involved in a colli-
sion and there is a chance that there
may be fuel leakage, never restart the
engine. Ignition of leaked natural gas
may cause death or serious injury.
Manual shut off valve
This valve is for manually shutting off
fuel from the tank. It is usually left
open. Use this valve to shut off fuel if
you suspect that the fuel is leaking or
after you have been involved in a colli-
sion.
Refer to “If you suspect the fuel is
leaking” in Part 4 for how to operate the
valve.
