CNG Sticker Requirements?

[cnggirl]

I was wondering if the law requires the CNG stickers on bumpers of cars to remain on the vehicle?

In one word. YES!

Re: CNG Sticker Requirements?

Page 7 of the '07 GX owner's manual sez, "Your vehicle has an identifying "CNG" label attached next to the rear license plate. Do not remove this label. This label is necessary for insuring your vehicle. Driving without this label may violate the laws or regulations in some states."

My insurance company has never seen my GX.

It's a fire regulation in most, if not all, states. In the event of an accident, the fire units responding must know what fuel on board is.

Besides, cutting into a 3600psi fuel line with the jaws of life might scare the hell out of some poor unsuspecting fireman.

I would also assume that DOT regulations have a bunch to do with it. Just like the semi trucks going down the road loaded with chemical xyz need to be placarded.

OK, so they need to stay one your vehicle but where to go to get a replacement sticker?

I got my spare one from Honda. The gas company might have them as well

They are $5 on EBay and always listed.

For those that refuel at home in their garage I'd put one the the garage door.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I did get one from the local Gas Company, for free I might add and they mailed to me.

California Vehicle Code says this: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27909.htm

Which isn't exactly adhered to since tanks are all over my Dodge Ram van.

You can even get multiple styles on EBAY - for those with fashion desires ;-)

Actually I love it when someone has already answered the question that just popped into my mind. I replaced the sticker on our truck and the next day, had some guy leave a resturaunt - notice the sticker, come back in and ask whose vehicle it was so he could proceed to quiz me on "How great is CNG REALLY?!?".

I didn't mind sharing how special spending 2/3's less on fuel and having a cleaner engine is - but it made me wonder if I HAD to advertise that fact. I started to scan NFPA but a quick search hear and voila! So, I will continue to advertise and thanx.
