How Many Years Can a Car's CNG Tank Be Used?
1 Answers
Automotive natural gas cylinders have a service life of 15 years. Below is relevant information about car CNG tank conversion: Regulatory requirements: Vehicles converted to CNG must undergo cylinder inspections every two years. If any wear or damage is found on the cylinder, it must be replaced before the vehicle can continue to be used. Important notes: On CNG-converted vehicles, the cylinder is typically secured by two retaining straps with a rubber pad between the cylinder and straps that serves as protective cushioning. If this rubber pad becomes damaged, the cylinder will be subject to wear. Therefore, vehicle owners should closely monitor the condition of these pads and replace them immediately when damaged to prevent cylinder damage.
