Where can fuel supply cylinders on vehicles other than school buses be located?

The placement of fuel supply cylinders in vehicles other than school buses is designed for both safety and practicality. Locating these cylinders within, below, or above the driver or passenger compartment allows for better utilization of space and can ensure a lower center of gravity for the vehicle, which can enhance stability and handling.

These locations also facilitate easier access for refueling and maintenance. The design guidelines and federal regulations may permit or require certain placements to optimize safety, control, and performance characteristics of the vehicle.

Alternative options, such as limiting placement to just below the driver compartment or only in the trunk space, would restrict flexibility in vehicle design and could negatively impact vehicle balance and space utilization. Thus, the correct selection recognizes the broader range of acceptable locations for fuel supply cylinders on such vehicles, promoting safety and efficiency.
