Module 2: High-Pressure CNG Fuel System Components

           MODULE 2: OVERVIEW


             Introduction         Compressed natural gas vehicles have unique components and features because natural
                                  gas is stored onboard vehicles at 3,600 psi and then the pressure is decreased by the
                                  regulator before gas enters the engine for combustion. Technicians must identify and
                                  understand the high-pressure components of NGV fuel systems and their functions to be
                                  able to safely work on or around NGVs.

             Importance           The information presented in this module will help you understand how natural gas
                                  vehicles work and recognize the high-pressure components.

             Module Overview      This module presents the three different types of CNG fuel systems (dedicated, bi-fuel
                                  and dual-fuel), as well as the typical high-pressure components and their operational
                                  functions.

             Learning Objectives   ▪  Differentiate between the three types of CNG systems and their operations
                                  ▪  Identify the major high-pressure fuel system components
                                  ▪  Describe the purpose of each component
