Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Safety precautions when painting natural gas-powered vehicles
DANGER!
| Excessively high drying temperatures endanger life!
High temperatures increase the pressure in the tank for
natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Excessive
pressure can cause the tank for natural gas or liquefied
petroleum gas to burst, causing severe injuries or
death. |
| High temperatures trigger the thermal fuse of the
cut-off valve on natural gas tanks. Increased pressure
due to high temperatures triggers the pressure relief
valve on liquefied gas tanks. Gas escapes from the tank
for natural gas or liquefied gas and, in the presence of
sparks, can produce a jet of flames. This may result in
severe injuries or death. |
| |
Never expose gas-conducting components to
temperatures higher than +60°C. |
| |
For drying in an oven above +60°, first remove all
tanks for natural gas or liquefied gas and vent all gas
lines. |
| |
For infrared drying, never expose gas-conducting
components of the high-pressure storage system to
temperatures above +60°. |
|
| Observe safety precautions and other instructions when
working on gas-powered vehicles (»LPG«
or »CNG«): |
