With the steady rise in the use of cost-effective natural gas vehicles, it's critical to have access to the complete range of requirements for designing, installing, operating, and maintaining compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) engine fuel systems and dispensing systems. NFPA 52, Vehicular Natural Gas Fuel Systems Code, offers in-depth instruction for helping to safeguard people and installations in a user-friendly format that’s easy to navigate and comprehend.

An essential for designers, engineers, maintenance professionals, facilities managers, contractors, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), NFPA 52 covers CNG and LNG systems on all types of vehicles and applies to facilities with LNG storage in containers of 100,000 gallons or less. Additional subject areas include:

• Fuel compression, processing, storage, and dispensing systems
• CNG residential fueling facilities (RFF-CNGs)
• CNG nonresidential fueling facilities
• LNG fueling facilities
• LNG fire protection
• Installation of ASME tanks for LNG
• LNG and CNG on commercial marine vessels and pleasure craft

The 2019 NFPA 52, Vehicular Natural Gas Fuel Systems Code, is consistent with CSA Group MGV 5.1 and the International Fuel Gas Code. 

Extensive revisions and additions to the new edition include:

• Reorganized and expanded text to address cutting-edge vehicle fueling applications (VFAs)
• A new chapter on nonresidential CNG fueling applications
• Updated terminology to align with current definitions and VFA changes
• Insertion of supplemental content for improved clarity
• Removal of material to eliminate redundancy with the CSA Group NGV 5.1 standard

NFPA 52 is a reliable reference book for natural gas engine fuel system requirements.
