What’s wrong with it?
INTERNAL DAMAGE TO THE O-RING SEAL COULD CAUSE ARELEASE OF CNG. IF CNG WERE RELEASED TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.
UPON EXPOSURE TO IMPURITIES IN THE NATURAL GAS FUEL IN COLD WEATHER, AN INTERNAL O-RING ON THESE DEVICES CAN BLISTER DURING DECOMPRESSION AFTER “FAST-FILL” REFUELING RESULTING IN SEAL LEAKAGE.
