Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:371086
The guidelines document presents various facility and bus design issues that need to be considered to ensure safe operations when using CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) as the alternative fuel. Fueling facility, garaging facility, maintenance facility requirements and safety practices are indicated. Among the issues discussed are fuel properties, potential hazards, fuel requirements for specified level of service, applicable codes and standards, ventilation, and electrical classification. Critical fuel related safety issues in the design of the related systems on the bus are also discussed.
