Working on CNG/LNG Trucks
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
If you store or dispense Compressed
Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquefied Natural
Gas (LNG), or if you work on CNG or
LNG trucks, your location must be
fully compliant with applicable codes,
regulations and standards, including
National Fire Protection Associate (NFPA)
codes, Society of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) standards, American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Natural Gas
Vehicle (NGV) standards, the United
States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
and your state and local fire and other
applicable codes (including, for example,
the California Code of Regulations and
the Texas Administrative Code).
Contact your local fire department for
guidance and additional compliance
information.
Technicians working on Autocar trucks
with CNG or LNG engines must be trained
in the proper repair of CNG and LNG
trucks and engines and the safe storage
and dispensing of CNG and LNG.
Working on CNG Fuel Systems
WARNING
CNG fuel systems include a high pressure
(3600 psi [24 820 kPa]) system for fuel
storage and a low pressure system (125
psi [860 kPa]) for consumption by the
engine. Understanding the characteristics
of CNG and how the fuel system works
will prevent injury and damage to persons
and property.
Attempting to operate or maintain any
CNG fuel system without proper training
is dangerous. Complete training and
consult instructional bulletins from the
CNG system suppliers, such as Agility
Fuel Systems’ Field Service Bulletin:
Safely Working on CNG Fuel Systems.
CNG/LNG Safety
WARNING
Welding and Hot Work Near CNG and
LNG Trucks
Welding, grinding and other “hot work”
can be safely performed on or near a CNG
or LNG vehicle, but certain precautions
must be followed. Understand and
perform the necessary precautions
provided by the CNG and LNG system
suppliers, such as Agility Fuel Systems’
Field Service Bulletin: Welding and Hot
Work Precautions Near CNG and LNG
Vehicles.
CNG Cylinders
WARNING
CNG fuel containers must meet Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
304 (Compressed Natural Gas Fuel
Container Integrity) and/or ANSI/
CSA NGV2 (Basic Requirements for
Compressed Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel
Containers). Both standards specify a
detailed visual examination every three
years.
Ensure that every truck owner completes
the required inspections, in accordance
with the applicable standards and other
resources, such as the Clean Vehicle
Education Foundation and NGVAmerica’s
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
Container Visual Inspection Advisory.
