The Clean Vehicle Education Foundation (CVEF) is conducting a survey of users of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Vehicles. The purposes of this survey are to:

  • determine vehicle users’ knowledge of current CNG cylinder inspection requirements,
  • assess the effectiveness of current CNG cylinder inspection practices,
  • evaluate the quality and effectiveness of current CNG cylinder inspector training and certification programs,
  • obtain suggestions for improvements in the current programs.

Please take a few minutes to complete the attached survey. 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 project includes a public awareness campaign to remind natural gas vehicle (NGV) owners to have their CNG fuel storage cylinders periodically inspected by qualified inspectors, scholarships for technicians to undergo inspection training and certification testing, collection of data concerning in-service cylinder conditions and wear, and coordination with newly developing cylinder safety standards and practices for hydrogen powered vehicles.

For more information about the Natural Gas Vehicle Cylinder Safety, Training and Inspection program, and/or to apply for an inspector training and certification testing scholarship, go to http://www.cleanvehicle.org/technology/cylinder.shtml.

Please contact Hank Seiff (703-534-6151, hseiff@cleanvehicle.org) if you have any questions.
