Gas vehicles
Liquid vehicle gas, LNG
LNG stands for Liquefied Natural Gas. The fuel is cooled to -130°C and then
consists of liquid and gaseous methane. Leaking LNG boils and expands to 600
times the liquid volume at normal pressure. A vehicle with a full tank can hold
up to 180 kg of fuel.
The fuel is kept pressurised in the tanks to 10 bar (g). The pressure in the tanks
and gas lines can vary, up to a maximum of 16 bar, provided that the safety
valves are intact.
