Venting the Natural Gas

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Chevrolet Spark. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Venting the natural gas system into the open (venting the natural gas) and inerting the natural gas system must be carried out on marked (e.g. cordoned off with tape) or separate open areas. Measures must be taken to prevent electrostatic discharge. The bleeder resistance of the floor must be <10 cubed 8 (100000000 / one-hundred billion) Ω. The area must be protected from lightning. An emptying ban during a thunder storm would be an alternative. No-one must go near the vehicle during and just after emptying. All emptying must take place with a cold engine/exhaust system. Ignition sources are prohibited within 5 m (16.4 ft) of the blow-off source. This includes work such as drilling, cutting, grinding, brazing or welding operations, working with a hot air blower or a flame cutter. The draining procedures are to be found under "Engine Controls/Fuel".
