The Clean Vehicle Education
Foundation (CVEF) in the US is conducting a survey of users of CNG
vehicles. The purposes of this survey are to: (1) determine
vehicle users’ knowledge of current CNG cylinder inspection
requirements; (2) assess the effectiveness of current CNG cylinder
inspection practices; (3) evaluate the quality and effectiveness of
current CNG cylinder inspector training and certification programs; and
(4) obtain suggestions for improvements in the current programs.
Please take a few minutes to take the survey by clicking here.
The survey is designed to collect information for the Natural Gas
Vehicle Cylinder Safety, Training and Inspection program, underwritten
by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This data collection
effort is part of a larger project that includes: (1) a public
awareness campaign to remind NGV owners to have their CNG fuel storage
cylinders periodically inspected by qualified inspectors; (2)
scholarships for technicians to undergo inspection training and
certification testing; (3) collection of data concerning in-service
cylinder conditions and wear; (4) and coordination with newly
developing cylinder safety standards and practices for hydrogen powered
vehicles.
For more information about the NGV Cylinder Safety, Training and
Inspection program, and/or to apply for an inspector training and
certification testing scholarship, go to here. For more information, contact Hank Seiff at 703/534-6151 or hseiff@cleanvehicle.org.
