What is the maximum allowed length for the CNG service hose?

The maximum allowed length for the CNG service hose is 48 inches. This regulation is in place primarily for safety and operational efficiency. A shorter hose minimizes the risk of potential hazards associated with leaks, kinks, or trips, which can occur with longer hoses. Additionally, a hose of this length is easier to manage, reducing the likelihood of improper handling during refueling operations. Maintaining strict standards for hose length ensures that the equipment operates safely within the prescribed limits set by regulatory bodies, ultimately enhancing the safety of personnel and the environment during the refueling process.
