What procedures are required for the transfer of a car gas tank?

Generally, the car gas tank is transferred along with the used car. The procedures required for the transfer of a used car include having the change record in the vehicle's file when applying for the 'oil-to-gas' service. If the documents are complete and valid during the vehicle transfer, the car gas tank will be transferred together with the vehicle. The transfer procedures for the car gas tank need to be handled at the local vehicle management office. The required documents for the transfer of a used car gas tank: 'Motor Vehicle Transfer Registration Application Form', the identity certificate and copy of the current vehicle owner, proof or voucher of ownership transfer, vehicle registration certificate, and driving license. If the vehicle license plate number is changed, the original vehicle license plate should also be submitted; For vehicles under customs supervision, the 'Certificate of Release from Supervision of the People's Republic of China Customs Supervised Vehicles' should be provided; If the transfer is entrusted, a power of attorney issued by the unit (individual) and the identity certificate and copy of the entrusted person (a temporary residence permit is also required if the household registration is not in the city), as well as the motor vehicle safety technical inspection certificate and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance certificate (for vehicles exceeding the inspection validity period), should be provided.
Last year, I helped a friend with the transfer of a car gas tank, and the whole process was somewhat similar to buying a car. First, you need to prepare some essential documents, such as a copy of the original owner's ID card, the vehicle registration book, as well as the inspection certificate and registration certificate for the gas cylinder, which prove the tank is safe to use, without cracks or leakage risks. Then, go to the local gas cylinder inspection agency or vehicle management office to submit the transfer application. They will verify whether the tank is within its valid period, and if everything checks out, fill out the forms to update the registration information. Don’t forget to pay a small handling fee, usually just a few dozen yuan. While waiting for approval, it’s best to check whether the gas tank is securely fixed and if the connecting pipes are aging, to avoid accidents right after taking over. This process can be quite a hassle, but checking local regulations online in advance can save you from unnecessary back-and-forth trips.
