Results of recent research on natural gas vehicle (NGV) cylinder safety are summarized, and recommendations are provided related to the cylinder ruptures that occurred early in 1994 in California and Minnesota, involving 1992 and 1993 dedicated natural gas GMC/PAS Sierra pickup trucks. Analysis of the ruptures revealed that they were due to acid-induced stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of the cylinder overwrap. The research program included a composite experts review meeting, five research projects, periodic peer review of contractor progress, and dissemination of results to the NGV industry and NGV users.
