Important Info for your vehicle Safety (CNG)

Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for CNG cylinders?

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause
accidents. In this regard please be cautious at the
time of accepting any CNG cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of CNG
cylinders: On one of three side stems of the
cylinder, the expiry date is coded alpha numerically
as follows; A or B or C or D and some two digit
number following this

e.g. D06. The alphabets stand for quarters - A for
March (First Qtr), B - June (Second Qtr), C-Sept
(Third Qtr), D for December (Fourth Qtr). The digits
stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would
mean December qtr of 2006.

Information may save life of many people and create
awareness among the public.

pakistan hydrocarbon(khi) verify the cylinders on very min cost (around 600-700 Rs), they keep your cylinder for 1 week on +300 pressure its located near kalapul korangi road (mostly ppl understand, its only a CNG station)
but 1 more thing, if cylinder doesn�t met the safety level, they return your cylinder into 2 pieces
