Gas vehicles
Safety valves
WARNING!
The solenoid valves are only open when the engine is running.
The gas tanks are equipped with one or more temperature-sensitive fuses. Steel
tanks also have pressure fuses. There is also a pipe break valve which restricts
the flow from the tank if the pressure causes major leakage from a line. If the
pressure exceeds 11 bar on the low pressure side, a safety valve in the pressure
regulator is also opened.
On trucks, the safety valves are located at the rear of the gas tanks, directed at
an inwards angle and a rearwards angle under the truck.
