A note from Forum Staff:
Everyone involved with the conversion and maintenance of natural gas vehicles must become familiar with the National Fire Protection Association code #52, which provides standards for safe installation and service. The code can be purchased here, but in the mean time Texas has a code which closely mirrors NFPA-52 and is attached to this top post for free download. Please read this stuff before turning a wrench on 3600 psi systems! NGV's have a wonderful safety track record. Let's keep it this way.
-----------------------------------------
Post pictures you've seen (in person or on the internet) of conversions that are NOT conforming to NFPA-52. Hopefully this thread will alert NGV owners on what not to do and on what to be on the look out for when pulling into refuel.
Here's a vehicle on found for sale on craigslist.

This Ford Expedition has 10 one GGE tanks manifolded together using RUBBER tubing!
I would run away as fast as I can if I saw this vehicle filling up.
