This Information may save life of many people and create Public Awareness. Please share this blog with all you know.

Many of us do not know this. Do you know that there is an expiry date?

(Physical life) for CNG cylinders?

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents. In this regard please be cautious at the time of accepting any CNG cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of CNG cylinders:

On one of three side stems of the cylinder, the expiry date  is coded alpha numerically as follows:

A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06. The alphabets stand for quarters

A for March (First  Qtr),
B for June (Second  Qtr),
C for Sept (Third  Qtr),
D for December (Fourth  Qtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean December qtr of 2006.
This would not have had happened if checks were done timely.
