Primary Pressure Relief     Prevents tank from over-
Valve                          pressurization

                            Activates at 230 psi
                            Self-resetting

Secondary Pressure Relief   Activates at 350 psi
Valve                       Redundant pressure relief
                            If red cap is missing, do not refuel

Vent Valve                  Used during fueling to reduce
Fuel Gauge Sender              pressure inside LNG tank to allow
                               fueling

                            Vents vapor back to fueling station
                            Also used to reduce pressure inside

                               the tank for maintenance

                            Sends signal to the fuel gauge on
                               dash of vehicle to indicate the
                               quantity of LNG in the tank(s)

Pressure Control            Supplies vaporized LNG to heat
(Economizer) Valve             exchanger when excess head
                               pressure exists in tank
Internal Check Valve
                            Controls flow toward engine
Engine Coolant Heat         Closes at ~125 psi
Exchanger
                            Located inside plumbing manifold
                                on tank

                            Provides 2 psi back pressure
                            Assists Pressure Control Regulator

                                in rapidly reducing tank pressure

                            Warms LNG, changes state from
                               liquid to gas

                            Uses heat from engine coolant for
                               warming

                            Warms gas to the engine, typically
                               130-170°F
