Fuel tanks for vehicles
A distinction must be made here:
on the one hand, cylindrical-spherical tanks mounted on the roof or underneath natural gas vehicles (commonly called Compressed Natural Gas: CNG; Natural Gas Vehicle: NGV; Gaz Naturel pour Vehicules: GNV), widely used on buses, cabs, utility vehicles (vans, pick-ups, trucks) at operating pressures of 200 bar
