Certified Tank Inspections

 

At A-1 Alternative Fuel Systems we have certified tank inspectors that perform  CNG Fuel System Tank Inspections at our shop or yours.

CNG tanks must be inspected every 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Following the guidelines of NFPA 52, NGV 2, and CGA 6.4. Cylinders must also be inspected after a collision, vehicle fire, exposure to excessive heat, or if any possibility of cylinder damage may have occurred. CNG tanks and fuel systems should also be inspected if the operator suspects a natural gas leak.

 

All CNG fuel system inspections are done by one of our certified inspectors and cover the following:


  • -Cylinder Mounting Bracket Inspection - Ensure that all mounting blocks, brackets, cradles, hangers, and gaskets are in proper working condition and are properly secured.

  • -Cylinder Inspection - Check cylinder expiration date and verify that the cylinder has not exceeded the expiration date. Visually inspect all cylinders for any possible damage.

 

-Diagnostic Codes- Check vehicle's computer controlled system for any fuel related fault codes and address as needed.


  • -Cylinder Shield Inspection - Visually inspect the cylinder shields for missing or damaged components.

  • -Fuel System Inspection - Check the fuel system for any loose, missing, or damaged components.

  • -PRD System Inspection - Visually inspect the Pressure Relief Device for proper installation, damage, proper functionality, and  ensure vent lines are clear of debris.
