This report describes the results of a literature review and discussions with industry experts through telephone interviews and attendance at the Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) Exhibition and the NGV Institute's Second Annual Education Symposium. This quick-response study was precipitated by the fuel tank ruptures which occurred in early 1994 (January 18 and February 1) on two GMC Sierra dedicated natural gas pickup trucks. These vehicles were equipped with Comdyne fully-overwrapped, aluminum-lined, composite fuel cylinders. They were converted to operate on compressed natural gas. The Gas Research Institute (GRI) requested Radian Corporation to conduct the study to address their concerns about NGV composite cylinders. Specifically, GRI was interested in identifying and evaluating available information on field failures in structures of fiberglass materials systems to assist in evaluating the implications of the two NGV fuel tank ruptures.
