CNG Cylinders International Debuts New Type 3 Tanks

CNG Cylinders International has announced the introduction of their new type 3 cylinder. CNG Cylinders says the tank was created to give those in the transportation industry a stronger alternative to the traditional tanks that are currently available in the industry.

“The fact that our tanks are larger means longer drive times for truck drivers and less time to fill up the tanks,” said Mike Pomerantz, a representative of CNG Cylinders International. “The superior heat dissipation of the aluminum liner allows for 37 percent more gas in the cylinder under fast-fill conditions.”

CNG’s type 3 fuel tank comes in two distinct sizes – 23 in. and 25 in. in diameter. All tanks are made of seamlessly-forged AL6061 liners with an aerospace-grade carbon fiber full body wrapping. Each type 3 tank features aluminum billets (which promotes superior strength), is impact, fatigue, degradation, and penetration-resistant, and has achieved quality assurance including DOT & NGV2-2007.
