What area is restricted for placing CNG equipment?

Placing CNG equipment close to electric transmission lines is restricted primarily due to safety concerns. Electric transmission lines can pose a significant risk for several reasons, including the potential for electric arcs or surges that could ignite flammable gases such as those present in compressed natural gas systems. This is particularly important given the high pressures and risks associated with CNG. Proper distance from high voltage lines minimizes the risk of electric shock or interference with the functioning of the CNG equipment.

Other considerations for placing CNG equipment include environmental safety and compliance with local regulations, but the proximity to electric transmission lines is a critical factor due to the inherent dangers associated with both high energy electricity and flammable gases.
