The problem
CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH NEXGEN LIQUID NATURAL GAS (LNG) TANKS ARE BEING RECALLED. THE INTRODUCTION OF WATER INTO THE DISCHARGE SIDE OF BOTH THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY RELIEF VALVES SIMULTANEOUSLY AND SUBSEQUENT FREEZING IN SERVICE CAN RENDER THE VALVES TEMPORARILY INOPERATIVE.
Risk
IF NOT INSPECTED THE RISK OF TANK OVER-PRESSURIZATION AND A CATASTROPHIC TANK RUPTURE CAN OCCUR, POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
What owners should do
CRANE WILL PERFORM AN INSPECTION AND PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ORDERING AND INSTALLING THE RETROFIT KIT. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING JULY 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CRANE AT 918-832-7305.
